What Happens if a Conciliation Agreement at the CCMA or Bargaining Council is not Complied With?

If either party breaks the agreement, the other party may apply to the Labour Court to have the agreement made into a court order. These are the steps to follow:

  • Obtain the application forms from the Registrar of the Court and fill them in.
  • Attach a copy of the agreement and an affidavit to the application. The affidavit must state:
    • when the dispute was referred for conciliation
    • when the conciliation meeting was held
    • when the agreement was made
    • what happened after the agreement was made
    • whether demands have been made
    • whether the employee has kept his or her part of the agreement
  • Serve the application on the employer.
  • File the application, and proof that you have served notice on the employer, with the Registrar of the Court.
