Employees We've Helped

I was dismissed without a hearing. Reign Diverge referred my matter to the CCMA and drafted all my papers. I was awarded 8 months' compensation. I would never have known what to do without them.

My employer was deducting money from my salary illegally. The team prepared a formal demand letter and within two weeks my full arrears were paid back. Fast, affordable, and they knew exactly what to do.

I signed a contract with a 12-month restraint of trade clause that would have stopped me from working in my industry. Reign Diverge spotted it immediately and helped me push back. My career was saved.

Right to a Fair Disciplinary Process

Clarity

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before reaching out.

Am I eligible for CCMA even if I haven't been dismissed yet?
Yes. The CCMA handles more than just dismissals. Unfair labour practices — such as unfair suspension, unfair demotion, failure to pay benefits, or failure to re-instate — can also be referred to the CCMA. Contact us to assess whether your situation qualifies.
My employer says I was an independent contractor — do I have labour rights?
Possibly. The law looks at the reality of the working relationship, not just the label on the contract. If you worked set hours, were controlled by the employer, used their equipment, and were economically dependent on them, you may legally be an employee — and entitled to full employment rights. This is called "misclassification" and we help challenge it.
What is constructive dismissal?
Constructive dismissal occurs when your employer makes your working conditions so intolerable that you are effectively forced to resign. The law treats this as a dismissal — meaning you can refer it to the CCMA. Examples include sudden demotion, removal of responsibilities, harassment, or withholding pay.
Do I need a union to use the CCMA?
No. Any employee can refer a dispute to the CCMA directly — union membership is not required. The CCMA process is free for employees. What you do need is to file within the deadlines and to have your documentation in order — which is where we come in.
Can my employer dismiss me for being pregnant or taking maternity leave?
Absolutely not. Dismissing an employee for being pregnant or for taking maternity leave is automatically unfair under labour law and constitutes unfair discrimination. You are entitled to return to the same or equivalent position after your maternity leave. Contact us immediately if this has happened.
Can I fight a dismissal even if I was paid a retrenchment package?
Receiving a package does not automatically waive your rights. If the retrenchment process was procedurally unfair — for example, you were not consulted, alternatives were not explored, or the selection criteria were discriminatory — you may still have grounds to challenge it at the CCMA. We can assess whether your retrenchment was lawful.
What is the difference between conciliation and arbitration at the CCMA?
Conciliation is the first stage — a commissioner tries to help both parties reach a voluntary settlement. If that fails, the matter proceeds to arbitration, where a commissioner hears evidence and makes a binding decision (an award). We prepare you fully for both stages.
Is my case information kept private?
Yes, completely. All information you share with us is treated as strictly confidential and protected under POPIA. We will never contact your employer, share your details, or disclose anything about your case without your explicit consent.
