CORRECT AND TRUSTED SOLUTIONS
Question:
Tselane works for #23&24 (Pty) Ltd (#23&24) as a manager. #23&24 produces
and sells exclusive tobacco on a large scale. Its main clients are middle-class youth
who treat smoking as a lifestyle choice. The tobacco business performs well during
the year, but sales go even higher in the last week of December when everyone is
home.
Tselane is also an intern pastor at Ko-kerekeng of God (KG), where he is required
to deliver sermons every day during the last week of December.
Phiri, Tselane’s senior manager at #23&24, issued a work roster and a statement
that nobody may take leave during the last week of December as this is a busy
period for the business. He also stated that #23&24 reserves the right to discipline
employees, including dismissal of transgressors.
Tselane is torn between delivering sermons at KG (and being absent from work)
and managing #23&24 at such a crucial time of the year (and thus not fulfilling his
religious obligations). Tselane has not taken any leave from his annual leave.
Tselane consulted his friend Ngwana-Thupana, who then referred him to you for
advice.
Answer the following with reference to the relevant legal authority:
1. Whether #23&24 has the right to issue the statement above and why. (2)
(a) Legal framework
The Basic Conditions of Employment Act 75 of 1997 (BCEA)
regulates working hours and leave.
Annual leave:
