The Public Service is service delivery driven, and is dependent on the quality, skill and performance of the employees to carry through its business. It is therefore imperative that the policies and systems pertaining to human capital are effectively and efficiently managed. The Basic Conditions of Employment Act regulates the basic conditions of employment and states that employees’ may be absent from duty due to illness. The public sector uses the Determination on the Leave of Absence in the Public Service as a tool to regulate leave in the public sector. The Determination provides employees with 36 paid sick days to be utilised by an employee within a three-year cycle. In cases where an employee has exhausted the sick leave, the employer may grant Temporary Incapacity Leave, which is discretional. The Public Service Commission has a constitutional obligation to monitor the performance of the public sector and produce reports covering the human resources management practices. With regards to the management of leave in the public sector, the reports reveal the abuse of sick leave by employees, non-compliance and the in-effective management. The Department of Public Service and Administration then developed the PILIR as a guide to manage and administer sick and incapacity leave in the public sector. This treatise therefore, discusses the regulation of sick and incapacity leave in the public sector and investigates the extent to which the applicable legislative framework is effective. The discussion uses the Labour Court judgment in the matter between The Public Service Association & Others versus the PSCBC & Others as reference, and further evaluates the judicial jurisprudence to demonstrate the extent of contentions of the private sector employers by the employees. Furthermore, this treatise seeks to evaluate the extent of similarities or differences of the practices both the private sector and the municipalities. In conclusion, the treatise makes recommendations on the best practices that can be adopted by the public sector to turn the situation around.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo discutir o teletrabalho perante o Direito do Trabalho e as grandes transformações advindas do processo tecnológico. Os fatores que favorecem a disseminação do trabalho a distância e a domicílio. Nesta trajetória, exploramos as alterações ambientais onde as organizações estão buscando alternativas viáveis para seus negócios, estruturas organizacionais e formas de trabalho. Dentro desse ambiente de mutações, existem profissionais que percebem a relevância das inovações nas organizações, como é o caso do teletrabalho. A partir dessa expectativa, surge o Processo de Teletrabalho, como uma alternativa moderna de gestão empresarial, sob o enfoque das alternativas de trabalho flexível para tornar as empresas mais competitivas e dinâmicas, diferentes daquelas outras que ainda estão perigosamente acostumadas à estabilidade e à rotina do trabalho tradicional. Para tanto, percorremos as direções já abertas pela doutrina, juntando um enfoque sociológico sistêmico, aberto, que nos permite repensar o mundo do trabalho e os desafios na sociedade pós-industrial. Com isso, faz-se necessária uma nova sociologia para observar as transformações nas relações de trabalho concomitantes ao novo paradigma produtivo e tecnológico. / Submitted by Marcelo Teixeira (mvteixeira@ucs.br) on 2014-05-15T17:57:55Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Leticia M E Lenuzza.pdf: 570618 bytes, checksum: ebb104897bdc0bbc845b93edf2685d92 (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2014-05-15T17:57:55Z (GMT).

Following this trajectory we explored the environmental modifications where organizations are looking for viable alternatives for their businesses, organizational structures and labour ways. Within this environment of mutations there exist professionals that perceive the relevance of innovations in the organizations, such as the telework. From this expectation arises the Telework Process, as a modern alternative of enterpreuneurial management, under the view of flexible labour alternatives, aiming to make the enterprises more competitive and dynamic, different from those that are still dangerously used to stability and to the routine of the traditional work. In order to reach our goal we followed the directions already opened by the doctrine, adding a systemic sociologic focus, opened, that allows us to rethink the labour world and the challenges of the post-industrial society. This brings about the need of a new sociology to observe the transformations in labour relations concomitantly to a new technological and productive paradigm.

O objetivo do estudo é a interpretação da expressão “relação de trabalho”, inserida no art. 114, I, da CF/88, pela EC. 45/2004. Por meio do método analítico investigam-se os fundamentos políticos, jurídicos e sociológicos que respaldam a interpretação constitucional e demarcam a função institucional da Justiça do Trabalho para a sociedade brasileira. Inicia-se com breve relato da história da Justiça do Trabalho e seu regime de competências. Segue-se apanhado geral da doutrina e da jurisprudência que dá sentido e localização ao objeto de estudo ao evidenciar os pontos de convergência e divergência dos mais variados autores que se debruçaram sobre o tema. Após localizar o leitor no objeto de estudo, parte-se para a tentativa de aprofundar as razões sociológicas e políticas que estão por trás da alteração da norma constitucional de modo a dar fundamento à conclusão que se seguirá. Concluída a análise político-social sobre o modo de ser do trabalhador contemporâneo, retoma-se o prisma estritamente jurídico para concluir que a expressão “relação de trabalho” inclui na competência da Justiça do Trabalho todas as demandas promovidas pelos trabalhadores em face dos respectivos tomadores de serviço, independentemente da existência de relação de emprego a partir, única e tão-somente, do pressuposto do trabalho prestado por pessoa física, de um lado, e, de outro, a conjugação dos pressupostos da onerosidade ou da profissionalidade. No que tange às relações de consumo, não têm pertinência na delimitação do alcance da norma constitucional, mas podem ser relevantes no julgamento de questões prejudiciais incidentais, quando a relação de trabalho contiver em seu bojo também uma relação de consumo. / Submitted by Ana Guimarães Pereira (agpereir@ucs.br) on 2015-09-25T14:00:20Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Dissertacao Maurício Machado Marca.pdf: 1908252 bytes, checksum: db5f100bbf6ae3116537d6944f18055d (MD5) / Made available in DSpace on 2015-09-25T14:00:21Z (GMT).

Thesis (MTech (Human Resource Management))--Peninsula Technikon, 2003 / The framework of the employment relationship is regulated by labour legislation. The relationship is known as the tripartite relationship, it is made up of the employer, employees normally represented by the union and the state. The state is responsible for the statutory and legislative framework within which this relationship is conducted.Legislation has been traditionally written in such a manner that only a selected group could understand and interpret it. The new dispensation in South Africa necessitated a move from the traditional manner in which legislation has been drafted to a more open and transparent format, which the general public can understand and comprehend. Plain language drafting that has been in use for the past 28 years intemationally is a method of drafting legislation which focuses on the reader or end-user.This study investigated the impact on comprehension and understanding levels of subjects when presented with a format of labour legislation that was redrafted using the guidelines of plain language drafting as opposed to the current format of the legislation.The research hypothesis was "Legislation will be more easily understood if redrafted in terms of plain language principles."An extensive literature review on plain language drafting, plain language principles and on mass communication was undertaken. The focal area in the literature review dealt with research that has been conducted on plain language drafting in labour legislation and on the theory of drafting and plain language.The empirical study was conducted at a model C type, senior secondary school in the Westem Cape with English speaking grade 11 students. The study tested the comprehension and understanding levels of the respondents 'In an experimental and control group environment. The experimental group receivedthe redrafted format of the legislation and the control group received the current format of the legislation.The results of the empirical study, conclusively demonstrated that the respondents in the experimental group who received the redrafted fonnat of the legislation, far exceeded the performance of the results that were achieved by the control group who received the current format of the legislation. The test results were exposed to various statistical measures to validate the research hypothesis. The findings of the statistical measures supported the research hypothesis.The findings of the empirical study concurred with the literature review and the research hypothesis; that when plain language drafting principles are applied to legislation, the reader more easily understands it.In conclusion the statistical tests have conclusively proved that, overall, plain language does improve comprehension of the legislation.
