PICK ‘N PAY RETAILERS (PTY) LTD

We have represented the client in a series of cases involving judicial review of arbitration awards where arbitrators had ordered the reinstatement of employees found guilty of petty theft of employer goods or property on the grounds that the arbitrator considers the sanction of dismissal to be too harsh for theft of goods of small value. 

“Shrinkage” is a material issue for retailers and dismissal of guilty staff is the only effective deterrent.  For this reason the review cases are of material importance to the client in its capacity as employer.
