Who is Covered by the Labour Relations Act?
Except for members of the South African National Defence Force, National Intelligence Agency and Secret Service, all employees are covered by the LRA. So this includes, farmworkers, domestic workers and public sector employees (such as teachers, nurses, police, etc who work for the state).
An independent contractor is not defined as an ‘employee’ and is therefore excluded from the LRA and BCEA provisions.
