Disciplinary hearings

Run disciplinary hearings the way the CCMA expects

A dismissal can be fair on the facts and still lost on procedure. Compliance Radar keeps every step of the case on one record, from the incident to the outcome and any appeal.

What it does

  • Moves each case through clear stages: investigation, hearing scheduled, hearing held, outcome, appeal and CCMA referral.
  • Records the charges, the chairperson, the date and place of the hearing, each person's plea and statement, and the minutes.
  • Record the hearing from your browser. The audio stays on the case, with a transcript and summary to check.
  • Suggests a sanction in line with the Code of Good Practice: Dismissal (2025), and asks for your reason if you decide differently.
  • Shows how the same offence was handled over the last 12 months, so sanctions stay consistent.
  • Prints a case summary with the full chronology, and warning letters with a valid-until date.

How it works

  1. Open the case

    Log the incident, the employee and the charges. Add what the investigation found.

  2. Hold the hearing

    Set the date, place and chairperson. Record the hearing and capture each plea and statement.

  3. Record the outcome

    Record the sanction and the reasons. Appeal and CCMA dates go on your compliance calendar.

Frequently asked questions

Does Compliance Radar replace a labour lawyer?

No. It keeps your procedure on track and on record. For a dismissal that may go to the CCMA, or anything out of the ordinary, get advice from a labour lawyer or your employers' organisation.

What is in the case summary?

The incident, the charges, the investigation, the hearing and its minutes, each person's plea and statement, the outcome, any warnings, the appeal, CCMA referrals and a dated chronology of the case.

Can I keep track of warnings?

Yes. Each warning carries a valid-until date. Expired warnings stay on the employee's file but are shown apart from the active ones.
