FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Selecting an HR outsourcing partner is a big decision and we understand you may have some questions before beginning that journey. From how our HR services work, what’s included or how we can assist your business with HR compliance, recruiting, employee relations, payroll or labour law - we’ve compiled some of our most frequently asked questions below. If you don’t see what you’re looking for please don’t hesitate to contact our knowledgeable team.
By outsourcing your HR functions to Gente, you can significantly reduce operating expenses while accessing top-level labour law advisors. Rather than hiring and paying a full-time employee to serve as your HR manager, Gente provides you access to scalable HR support including payroll processing, compliance checks, and legal counsel. Our team helps ensure your SME stays up-to-date on the BCEA, LRA, and more so you can stay compliant and spend less time worrying about HR.
At Gente, we design an Employee Documentation Framework customised to the unique environment of your industry (whether it’s for retail, wholesale, construction, landscaping, etc.) and current South African employment laws. Relying on cookie-cutter employment contracts found online leaves you vulnerable to unfair precedent if a CCMA claim is filed against your business. Gente writes bespoke, unassailable employment contracts, employee handbooks, and code of conducts which clearly define the role, hours, and terms of separation. We work hard to limit your liability from the start.
Absolutely. Gente’s IR team will serve as your legal counsel when dealing with trade unions, collective bargaining, and labour disputes. South African labour laws are quite specific when it comes to who can physically represent your business during a CCMA arbitration hearing. However, we will prepare your case file from start to finish and walk you step-by-step through the process. Gente will prep your witnesses, manage your entire strategy, and train your management staff on how to properly argue procedural and substantive fairness.
Gente’s HR Payroll Services will relieve you of the headaches associated with weekly and monthly pay runs. With new payroll regulations being introduced yearly, even seasoned accounting professionals can make costly mistakes. Gente calculates hours, overtime, commissions, deductions, UIF, SDL, and PAYE. We prepare your monthly SARS submissions, and provide your employees with compliant and professional-looking payslips.
When terminating an employee, your company must demonstrate that there was substantive fairness (grounds for dismissal) and procedural fairness (legitimate process). It is extremely difficult to argue that you had a fair hearing when your line manager serves as the chairperson of that hearing. Gente sources and assigns an external chairperson to lead your disciplinary investigation. Our chairpersons are trained to guide you through every step of the disciplinary process and their impartiality confirms your process was unbiased.
Streamline Your Workforce & Secure Your Business with Gente
Navigating South Africa’s complex, highly regulated labour market is a constant challenge for growing businesses. At Gente, we provide comprehensive, outsourced HR and labour management services specifically engineered to protect your business, optimize staff productivity, and ensure complete compliance.
From managing weekly payroll runs and structuring bulletproof employment contracts to providing independent chairpersons for disciplinary investigations and guiding you through trade union collective bargaining, we act as your dedicated, off-site HR department. Let us handle the administrative burden and legal risks of workforce management so you can focus entirely on your core business growth and profitability.
Protect your business before a dispute occurs.
