The Employment Equity Act (EEA), 1998 (Act 55 of 1998) aims to promote … in the workplace.

A: An employee who is working four hours overtime a day.

The Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA) limits overtime to 3 hours a day and 10 hours a week, so four hours of overtime every day breaks the law and must be put right. Four months' maternity leave (B) is the legal entitlement, and a 40-hour week (C) is within the 45-hour limit. Note: the official marking guideline gives C, which does not match the BCEA.

Three ways in which trade unions such as SADSAWU could protect the rights of domestic workers are:

1. The union could educate domestic workers about their rights, so that they can hold employers accountable for poor working conditions.
2. The union could set up hotlines and safe reporting systems, so that workers can report abuse without fear of intimidation or losing their jobs.
3. The union could negotiate on wages on behalf of domestic workers, so that they earn a living wage and can support their families.

Two reasons why effective communication skills between an employer and a worker are important within a remote working environment are:

1. Effective communication prevents misunderstandings between the employer and the worker. Both sides clearly understand each other's expectations and concerns. This reduces mistakes and conflict about the work. As a result they keep a good working relationship even though they do not meet face to face.
2. Good communication allows the employer to give constructive feedback to the worker. The feedback helps the worker improve and grow in the role. It also shows that the employer cares about the worker's development. This improves the overall quality of remote work.

D: location of the employee's home.

Where an employee lives has nothing to do with their ability to do the job, so treating them differently because of it is unfair. Affirmative action, job requirements and productivity are fair grounds.

The relevant law is the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA), 75 of 1997.

Two reasons why workers should know the regulations with regard to taking leave are:

1. They understand the rules for the different types of leave, such as sick, annual and maternity leave.
2. They know which documents, such as a medical certificate, they must hand in and by when.

False.

An employment contract is legally binding, so both the employer and employee can be held to its terms in a dispute.
