The length of time it takes to certify a CCMA (Commission for Conciliation, Mediation, and Arbitration) award can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the case, the availability of parties involved, and the workload of the CCMA itself. However, it is generally expected that the certification process should be completed within a few weeks to a couple of months.
After a CCMA commissioner has issued an award, it needs to be certified by the CCMA in order to become binding and enforceable. The certification process involves reviewing the award for any errors or irregularities and ensuring that it complies with the relevant laws and regulations. Once the award is certified, it can be implemented and enforced.
It’s important to note that the exact timeframe for certification may vary, and there may be additional delays if there are any disputes or objections raised by the parties involved. It is advisable to contact the CCMA directly or consult with a legal professional familiar with the specific circumstances of your case for more accurate and up-to-date information regarding certification timelines.
