Where it goes wrong
The mistakes that cost R85,000 at the CCMA.
Working-hours violations
An employee works 50 hours and claims overtime you never tracked. The Department of Labour fines you R5,000 per violation. Synthro tracks hours automatically and alerts you the moment someone crosses 45 hours.
Wrong leave calculations
You grant 15 days of annual leave believing it is correct. The BCEA requires 21. Synthro calculates every leave type — annual, sick, family responsibility — on the exact statutory formula.
Missing employment contracts
A new hire works two months without a signed contract and the CCMA rules the dismissal unfair. The BCEA requires a contract within one month. Synthro generates a compliant one the moment you add an employee.
Unfair dismissals
You let someone go for poor performance without warnings, and they win R85,000 at the CCMA. You needed three written warnings. Synthro tracks warnings, PIPs and hearings into CCMA-ready documentation.
No proof at the hearing
The CCMA asks for evidence you followed procedure. You search your inbox for two hours and find nothing. Synthro logs every action with a timestamp — instant proof of compliance when it matters.
Probation-period errors
You extend probation to nine months and the employee challenges it. The BCEA caps probation at six. Synthro tracks probation periods, warns you before expiry, and prevents unlawful extensions.
Your compliance baseline
Everything the BCEA expects, tracked in one place.
The cost of getting it wrong
Unfair-dismissal awards reach R225,000, Department of Labour fines start at R85,000 per offence, and CCMA legal fees begin around R50,000.
CCMA-ready by default
Every action is logged with a timestamp, giving you instant proof of compliance. Businesses with proper documentation win 95% of cases.
Zero manual tracking
BCEA compliance is built in, not bolted on. No spreadsheets, no missed deadlines — just records that hold up the day they are tested.
