The time limit for referring a dispute to the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration (CCMA) in South Africa depends on the nature of the dispute. Generally, the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) sets a 30-day time limit for employees to refer disputes related to unfair dismissal to the CCMA.
If you believe you have been unfairly dismissed, it is important to act promptly and ensure that your referral is submitted to the CCMA within 30 calendar days from the date of your dismissal. Failing to meet this deadline may result in your claim being dismissed by the CCMA, unless you can provide valid reasons for the delay.
It’s worth noting that time limits and procedures may vary depending on the specific circumstances, employment contracts, and other factors. Therefore, it is advisable to consult with an attorney or seek legal advice to understand the specific time limits and requirements that apply to your situation.
