In this episode, we explore the tricky intersection of labor law and landlord-tenant law when employees live on their workplace premises. What happens if a farmworker or domestic worker is dismissed but refuses to leave their accommodation, citing unfair dismissal? We break down recent cases where magistrates have had to balance the rights of employers with the protections offered by labor legislation. Tune in to understand how this legal clash affects both employers and employees, and why it’s creating confusion in workplaces across South Africa.
