THE FACTS
DHLADHLA Abram was fired from F&S Electricity after having worked there between 2002 and 2007. He said he never received payment from his provident fund. He went to the department of labour, which appointed an investigator. But he still didn’t get paid out.
He could not afford a lawyer so he came to SunDefender, asking for help.
WHAT I DID
Scorpion Legal Protection spoke to the company to get answers regarding Dhladhla’s case.
SOLUTION
As 10 years have lapsed since Dhladhla was fired, it would be difficult for him to get compensation. He was advised to go to the CCMA and trace the matter using his case number. If it’s found that even his case has expired, the court may revive it. He was also given the contact details of ProBono.
Scorpion Legal said employees should ask their employers for a statement reflecting benefits and the contact details of the administrator.
