CCMA reports faster arbitration turnaround

South Africa's dispute resolution body reduces the average time from referral to award, strengthening its role as the primary employment forum.

What changed

Increased use of virtual hearings and case-flow management has cut delays. The 30-day referral deadline for dismissal disputes remains the most common reason claims fail at the outset.

Why this is marked low impact

Clarifies existing practice without altering what anyone has to do. Impact is our editorial read of scope, not a legal opinion on how the change affects you.

Check this against the source

We summarise developments so they are scannable, which necessarily loses detail. Before you rely on this, read the instrument itself.
