CCMA says over 80% of workers unfairly dismissed by employers opt for cash settlement

The CCMA says more than 80% of workers unfairly dismissed by employers opt for cash settlement.
Financial pressures and broken down relations are cited among the reasons why most workers avoid going back to their jobs.
But some experts blame this on cases that end up on a review that take years to resolve.

This is actually what CCMA employees advises most of the complainants. They make it seem like you won't win and your best shot is ask for settlement, that's what those commissioners tell most employees

[@Duciousness]

Correct. One commissioner forced me to take a settlement when I wanted reinstatement.

We must stand up for this nonsens

Wow. This is sad

[@JyWeetWie]

I am affraid to employ a domestic, garden or any full time worker due to the treatment by the CCMA, as well as frustrations with the UIF. From the start I felt like the guilty party, without options (and opportunity to present my side) and have no other choice than to settle (enforced legal fees for arbitration are too high). In the end the CCMA also caused the employee to lose money (they settled for less than if the absconding worker settled with me directly). If there are similar cases to mine, CCMA are contributing to unemployment and poverty, due to the trauma of being bullied as a small scale employer.
