An unfair dismissal occurs when you're fired without a valid reason or without following proper legal procedures. This includes dismissals based on discrimination, personal grudges, or lack of due process.

You must refer your dispute to the CCMA within

30 days of the dismissal or incident. Don’t delay — speak to us as soon as possible.

3. Can employers get legal help before dismissing an employee?
