South Africa Latest News,South Africa Headlines

It has been a week since the South African minister of health repealed regulations pertaining to, among other things, the wearing of face masks, notes legal firm Bowmans, South Africa.

In the workplace, this has meant that employees are no longer required to wear face masks unless their employers require them to do so – as confirmed in the new Code of Good Practice: Managing Exposure to SARS-CoV-2 in the Workplace published on 24 June 2022.

On 18 March 2022, the Code of Good Practice on the Prevention and Elimination of Harassment in the Workplace came into effect. The code defines what constitutes harassment and places an obligation on employers to take proactive steps to prevent and eliminate all forms of harassment in the workplace. Most people love receiving compliments and some compliments are given with innocent intentions. However, employees are warned not to cross the line of sexual harassment. Sexual harassment is defined in the code as unwelcome conduct of a sexual nature, whether direct or indirect, that the perpetrator knows or ought to know is not welcome.
