Webinar: Landmark Parental Leave Ruling. What Employers Must Know
Join us for a webinar tailored for HR/ER professionals to unpack the recent Constitutional Court ruling on parental leave and its immediate impact on employers.
DATE: 13 November 2025
TIME: 10:00 – 12:30
PRICE:
R350 excl VAT per person
In Van Wyk and Others v Minister of Employment and Labour, the highest court unanimously struck down the old maternity/parental leave rules as unconstitutional.
The Constitutional Court ordered that the statutory leave must now be available equally to all parents.
With Parliament given 36 months to fix the legislation, interim changes are effective immediately. Employers must act now to update policies, avoid discrimination claims and manage the new leave dynamics.
What is addressed:
- The Constitutional Court’s judgment and its implications for employers
- Immediate steps to implement the new equal parental leave provisions
- Updating HR policies and employment contracts
- Managing operational challenges: who qualifies for what
- Procedures for leave applications, approvals and documentation
- UIF processes and entitlements under the new regime
Why attend:
This webinar is essential for HR managers, ER professionals and line management. You will leave with a clear, practical roadmap: understand exactly how leave policies must change, what compliance steps are required immediately and how to minimise disruption.
