Hello Christiaan Have you tried reporting this to the Department of Labour for investigation? This might be your best bet - which will be zero cost to you. Regards Aslam Moolla Legal Leaders
I sent my letter of demand and everything they needed to audit the money which I was unpaid.(gave them 7 days). On the 7th day I was called and told my money will be paid on that same day. It's been 24hours and I haven't received the money which is owing to me. Should I proceed to small claims court or let them know that they did not make payment as they said they will
Hello Nonny Looks like they trying delay tactics. Proceed to Small Claims Court. The Clerk of the Court can help you for free with filling in the documents All the best! Legal Leaders
Hi my boss didnt pay any of hes workers in 3 months we went to the ccma but they say they cant help use becuase he dont pick up hes phone we know ehere he lives and everyting we can do it true the small claims court lile you say but how to go about it cuase he knows how to avoid the court he doenst pick up hes phone or are at home wen we try to claim are money we are about 20 people
Hello there. The best approach here would be to go to your nearest CCMA and refer a case for outstanding monies owed. Hope this helps Aslam Moolla Law@legal-leaders.co.za
Hello Phyl That's a good question. The total amount that is owing cannot be higher that R 20 000 (whether thats gross or net). However if the amount is higher (for example R 25 000) you can abandon the R 5000 amount and make it a total of R 20 000. This will make the amount R 20 000 so that you can still approach the Small Claims Court. We hope this helps.

Hello Patience This may be a claim for constructive dismissal (if you have already demanded the money) and your employer is refusing to pay you - but is expecting you to work. We suggest that you immediately contact an attorney to help. You can also book an appointment with our offices. Please email us on: Law@legal-leaders.co.za All the best!

Hello Haids 24, You can approach the CCMA on the basis of "statutory monies owed to you by the employer". However the CCMA process might take longer to get a date etc. We recommend the Small Claims Court (if the amount is under the limit). Hope this helps!
