GUEST – Kagiso Lebethe - Senior Employee Relations Specialist
Financial constraints not an excuse for failing to promote employees already recommended for promotion Employees
have different reasons for wishing to be promoted. They want the increased remuneration that goes with it, they want the status, the feeling of success and recognition and/or the challenge of the higher level responsibility. Despite these aspirations, employees
do not have an unfettered and automatic right to be promoted. Were such an automatic right to exist this would place an unfair and impossible burden on employers. However, where certain circumstances exist employees may have a legal right to be promoted.
