Yes, employees can win cases at the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration (CCMA) in South Africa. The CCMA is an independent dispute resolution body established to promote fair labor practices and resolve disputes between employers and employees.
When employees lodge a complaint or dispute with the CCMA, they have the opportunity to present their case and provide evidence supporting their claim. The CCMA conducts hearings where both parties can present their arguments and evidence. Based on the merits of the case and relevant labor laws, the CCMA will make a determination or award.
If the CCMA finds in favor of the employee, they may be awarded various remedies, such as compensation for unfair dismissal, unpaid wages, or other employment-related benefits. However, it’s important to note that not all cases result in a favorable outcome for employees. The CCMA’s decisions are based on the specific circumstances and evidence presented in each case.
It’s advisable for employees to seek legal advice or assistance from trade unions when navigating the CCMA process to increase their chances of success.
