The CCMA is an independent organisation that resolves workplace disputes fairly and legally.
It protects employees from:

The CCMA Process Explained
Step 1: Referral
You submit your dispute to the CCMA.
Step 2: Conciliation
A commissioner helps both parties reach agreement.

If no agreement is reached, a commissioner makes a legal decision.
