Just the job
- Employers must follow specific laws when recruiting staff
- Contractual offers must be clear and the job description, duties and terms of employment carefully stated
- Anti-discrimination legislation must be adhered to in terms of advertising, interviewing and offers of employment
- An employer can discriminate on unlawful grounds only if a genuine qualification applies to the actual job function
