Dismissed? The clock is already running.

An unfair dismissal dispute must generally be referred to the CCMA within 30 days. The sooner you speak to us, the more options you keep.

Checklist 0 / 05

01 Get it in writing and note the date Ask for your dismissal letter and the reasons for it. The 30 days generally run from the date of dismissal, or from the employer’s final decision on an internal appeal.
02 Don’t sign anything you don’t understand A settlement or “full and final” agreement can waive your right to challenge the dismissal. Get advice before you sign.
03 Gather your documents Contract, payslips, warnings, hearing notices and outcomes, emails and messages, plus the names of anyone who saw what happened. Write down a timeline while it is fresh.
04 Request your certificate of service and UI-19 Your employer must give you a certificate of service, and the UI-19 form helps you apply for UIF benefits while your dispute is resolved.
05 Refer your dispute to the CCMA or bargaining council An unfair dismissal dispute must generally be referred within 30 days. Late referrals need condonation, which is not guaranteed, so speak to us early.
