- South African Labour Law Reports (SALLR)
The South African Labour Law Reports (SALLR)
THE SOUTH AFRICAN LABOUR LAW REPORTS (SALLR) has not only kept up with such developments but it has raced ahead. From a small publication in 1990, it has become South Africa’s premier labour law and industrial relations resource. Every Year The SALLR Team Deals With The Latest Developments In Labour Law, Human Resources And Employee Relations By Providing Delegates With Insight And Solutions To Deal With ‘Slip And Trip’ Issues – And 2026 Will Be No Exception.
THE CORE VALUES OF THE SOUTH AFRICAN LABOUR LAW REPORTS
What does the South African Labour Law Reports stand for?
Who is the South African Labour Law Reports ?
The South African Labour Law Reports brand is well-established and we do not here have to speak about all the competitive key elements of this brand.
If it wasn’t based on excellent research, the production of a sought after seminar workbook, the delivery by experts and the utilisation of amazing venues, this brand would not have survived.
The above things we generally do better than most other brands.
But what is the core value of the South African Labour Law Reports ? This core value has not changed from the very first annual seminar, and that is empowering practitioners to make a difference – to make a real difference where it matters, namely, in the training venues, at the shop floor, at the CCMA, at the various bargaining councils and at the various courts. That is our core value.
And that core value has driven us during the past 41 annual seminars and that is what we would like you to think about when the South African Labour Law Reports brand is considered.
