Benefits dispute
A workplace dispute about employment benefits such as pension, medical aid, allowances, bonuses, leave-related benefits, or other benefits linked to the employment relationship.
Definition
A benefits dispute should start with the contract, policy, payslips, benefit rules, collective agreement, payroll records, communications, and the reason the benefit was granted, refused, reduced, or changed. Some benefits disputes may fall under unfair labour practice routes, while others may need a different forum depending on the benefit and facts.
