LABOUR ARBITRATION WORKSHOP
The Labour Relations Act gives an important role to conciliation and arbitration in the resolution of disputes. Lawyers are to a large
extent excluded from conciliation and arbitration proceedings before the CCMA. As such, conciliation and arbitration skills have
become vital for industrial relations practitioners, human resources managers, trade union officials, and small entrepreneurs. This
workshop is aimed at those who are actively involved in industrial relations and want to acquire skills to initiate and conduct
conciliation and arbitration, whether under the auspices of the CCMA or bargaining councils, or private.
The topics covered include:
 an overview of disputes that may arise in the labour context
 conciliation and arbitration in terms of the LRA and in case of private arbitration
 the rules of evidence needed to successfully pursue arbitrations
 preparation for arbitration – gathering of evidence, strategizing and final preparation
 interviewing, selecting, and preparing witnesses; taking statements; and preparing arguments
 presentating a case (opening statements, leading witnesses, cross-examination, re-examination, and arguing a case)
 the arbitration award
 mock arbitration under the auspices of an experienced arbitrator
These four-day workshops will be held in Pretoria in June, October and November. Practical instruction by means of exercises in
small groups accompanies each lecture. A mock arbitration takes place on the last day. These methods enable participants to
exercise acquired skills and to raise practical questions with experienced labour practitioners.
No examination will be written. Participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance.
Students who register for both the Advanced Labour Law Programme and the Labour Arbitration
Workshop qualify for a reduced fee of R16,00-00.
Registrations for the May Labour Arbitration Workshop will be accepted from February until 1 May.
Registrations for the September or October Labour Arbitration Workshops will be accepted until 30 August.

CROSS-EXAMINATION WORKSHOP
Case presentation skills have become vital for industrial relations practitioners, human resources managers, trade union officials,
shop stewards and small entrepreneurs. Experience has shown that the area of case presentation – be it at arbitration or even
disciplinary enquiries - often experienced to be the most problematic is that of cross-examination.
This in mind, this workshop, although designed as an extension of the Labour Arbitration Workshop, is self-contained and focuses
exclusively on the practical tools necessary to pursue effective cross-examination. The topics to be addressed include:
 the principles of evidence – an overview
 how evidence is evaluated – understanding the strengths and weaknesses of evidence
 the goals of cross – examination
 how to prepare for cross-examination
 the techniques of cross-examination
 difficulties and dangers: the pitfalls of cross-examination, including cross-examination of experts and cross examination
through interpreters
These two-day workshops will be held in Pretoria in May/ June and October/ November. Practical instruction by means of exercises
in small groups accompanies each lecture. These methods enable participants to exercise acquired skills and to raise practical
questions with experienced labour practitioners.
No examination will be written. Participants will receive a Certificate of Attendance.
Registration for the October Cross – Examination Workshops will be accepted until 30 August.

IN – HOUSE TRAINING FOR LINE MANAGERS
The practical application of labour law – especially the day to day management of discipline and performance in the workplace – is,
in the first instance, the responsibility of line management (in consultation with HR). As such, a sound knowledge of labour law and
its application not only is a necessary tool for every line manager, but an integral part of sound risk management by any
organization.
The Centre for Business Law is in a position to develop and offer in-house training of HR and IR officers and staff, as well as line
managers, in the practical day to day application of labour law and associated skills. Some examples of successful programmes
developed and offered to line management training, in all cases adapted to the needs of the particular organization, are workshops
in  Practical Discipline and Performance Management (typically two days in duration)
 Chairing Disciplinary Enquiries (one day in duration).
 A combination of the above-mentioned two workshops (3 days)
 Employment Relations Management (two days)
 Managing Conflict (one day)
 Managing Difficult Conversations in the Workplace (two days)
The fee for in-house training is negotiated in all instances with the organization involved. As a guideline, organizations should
expect to pay R1000,00 per participant per day, with a minimum fee of R12 000,00 per day applying.
Should you be interested in exploring the possibility of In-House Training on the above-mentioned or any other topic with us, please
do not hesitate to contact Moira Roux Tel: 012 429-8432 / 012 429 8774 or Fax: 012 429-8206 or e-mail: cbuslaw@unisa.ac.za for

LETTER FROM MYUNISA SUPPORT TEAM
Dear Student
This year, we're all about making things easier for you. What with family and friends, full-time jobs and a never
ending to-do list, we know your time is precious.
So, to free up some of your hard-earned minutes, we've made it easier for you to activate both your myLife e-mail
account and login for myUnisa. Now, you can use one set of login details for both.
Setting up your account and getting your details is just as simple. Here's how:
Step 1: Visit the myUnisa website at my.unisa.ac.za.
Step 2: Click on the “Claim Unisa login” link on the top left menu.
Step 3: A new page will load, prompting you to enter your student number. Add your student number and
click “Continue”.
Step 4: Enter your surname, your full name, your date of birth and, finally, your South African ID number for
South African citizens, or your passport number for foreign students, on the page that loads and then
click“Continue”. Remember to enter either an ID number or a passport number, not both.
Step 5: Read through the page that loads and check all the boxes to acknowledge that you've read all of the
information provided. Then click the “Acknowledge” button to redirect to the final page in the process.
Step 6: The final page will display your myLife e-mail address and your initial Unisa password which is for both

displayed on the page for safekeeping.
Remember, the password provided is your initial myUnisa and myLife Password password. You can
