Labour Bills move another step closer to becoming law

On 21 August 2018, the Labour Bills were considered and passed by the National Council of Provinces. The Bills will now be formally submitted to the President of the Republic of South Africa for final assent and signature.

Once signed by the president, the Bills will become law in South Africa. The Bills will then be placed in the Government Gazette and will come into operation on the Commencement Date as stipulated in the legislation.
