Hi
I was recently at the ccma and got a settlement agreement for reinstatement.
The agreement states that it is in full and final settlement and nothing about a disciplinary hearing.
Upon returning to work today the company suspended me pending a disciplinary to fix their previous procedural defects whereby no disciplinary was held.
Please advise on what my rights are and can a company actually do this as they had a mala fide intention at the ccma and did not play open cards.
Please help.I am so restless and haven't slept properly for days.
Thanks in advance
my advise is to first check the settlement agreement, you are looking for a clause stating that "this settlement extinguishes all causes of action between the parties". if it says this then they cannot hold a disciplinary hearing.
If not then proceed with the disciplinary hearing, if the outcome is negative them proceed to the CCMA.
