When we talk about transactional value in a salon, we’re talking about the mechanisms of taking advantage of the uninterrupted time that you have with your client in your chair. Stylists need to look at their businesses and reassess how they are engaging with their clients to showcase their full individual offerings. You need to create value within your space & the simplest way to create this is through your work. We want to show you and Introduce to you the POWERFUL way of x 5 your Turnover. Value creation in the future of Hairdressing will be based around Creativity, Exposing yourself to other Markets: creating uniqueness and the high value of bringing a new product or service improvement to market; the ability to find a solution to a challenging customer problem; or, the way a new product or service is sold and delivered. Change is inevitable, we want to make your Business Sustainable. Gone are the days of having a cup of coffee and a chat with a client (although there is a place and time for this too). Most clients are looking to get the best possible service or solutions to their concerns with very specific guidelines and measures in place. This is where the opportunity appears, by looking deeply into those concerns of your clients and adapting them to the benefit of your own business, with the goal in place to increase your docket by acquiring sales that have traditionally been associated with an alternative location. Transactional Value that doesn’t cannibalize on your existing business but adds value as Brand New Growth in Turnover. The best example of this is the acquisition of collagen brands within the professional sphere. Collagen is the “IT” health care product that has been dominating sales in pharmacies as well as online. This is a product directly linked to the Haircare & Beauty Industry and provides an add-on product that grows a docket rather than replacing an alternative on it. Most clients are purchasing their collagen through an alternative channel and this allows you to take this portion of spend and increase your profitability and income. Collagen makes up more than 62% of the DERMIS LAYER of Hair and we haven’t in our INDUSTRY used this yet to gain additional value and Health Benefit for our Customers. So we are introducing you to our new Department within SLICK SALON SOLUTIONS - Lifestyle and Wellness . It’s the story about Health, making sure your customers are around for longer with us, and their hair gets to look even more fantastic, because of you. Thus, creating VALUE in your life and your Customer Base. We need to be constantly Restructuring / Rethinking /RE-inventing / RE-organizing to ensure that we are consistent with change ensuring additional transactional value with our client base. Contact 0861 1 SLICK (0861 1 75425) to discuss how we can CREATE VALUE in your business for your clients as well as for yourselves.

Insolvency, liquidation, sequestration and the selling of a business as a going concern. TERMINOLOGY Where a natural person becomes insolvent – sequestration Where a partnership goes insolvent – sequestration Where a company or a close corporation goes insolvent – liquidation / winding up The ordinary test for insolvency: the inability to pay his/her debts. The legal test for insolvency: whether his/her liabilities fairly estimated, exceed his/her assets, fairly valued. PROCESS OF LIQUIDATION Final liquidation occurs when a business: Company Pty (Ltd.) has applied to the High Court; Close Corporation has applied to the Magistrates court for an order of final liquidation. This order will have the effect that the business no longer exists. The business will stop trading; its assets will be liquidated and distributed to creditors in order of ranking. INSOLVENCY & LIQUIDATION OF THE EMPLOYER All contracts of employment are automatically terminated in terms of section 38 of the Insolvency Act when a business is placed in final liquidation. This provides protection to employees upon sequestration or liquidation of their employer. Prior to the amendment, the termination of contracts of employment for reasons of insolvency meant that employees were not considered as dismissed and therefore they did not receive any protection or benefits the law offered in terms of the Basic Conditions of Employment Act or the right to not be unfairly dismissed in terms of the Labour Relations Act. EFFECT OF AMENDMENTS Contracts of service are suspended on the insolvency of the employer from the date of the sequestration/liquidation order. During the suspension of the contract, the employee is not obliged to render any services to the employer and the employee is not entitled to receive pay or employment benefits. The employee whose contract has been suspended is deemed to be unemployed and would be entitled to claim UIF. An employee whose contract is suspended or terminated would be entitled to claim compensation for loss suffered by suspension or termination of the contract. TRANSFER OF CONTRACTS OF EMPLOYMENT RELATING TO INSOLVENCY Section 197A of the Labour Relations Act applies to transfers of a business where the old employer is insolvent and a scheme of arrangement or compromise has been entered into to avoid winding up or sequestrating the employer for reasons of insolvency. If a transfer of business takes place between an old employer and a new employer in the circumstances above, the new employer is, unless otherwise agreed, automatically substituted in the place of the old employer in all contracts of employment in existence immediately before the old employers winding up or sequestration. The transfer of the business does not interrupt the employees’ continuity of employment and their employment continues with the new employer as if with the old employer. However, anything done before the transfer by the old employer in respect of each employee will be considered to have been done by the old employer and not the new employer. For example, the new employer cannot be responsible for a dismissal made against an employee by the old employer. In addition, all rights and obligations between the old employer and each employee at the time of transfer remain the rights and obligations of the old employer and each employee. The rights and obligation of the old employer in respect of collective agreements and arbitration awards also become the rights and obligations of the new employer. The new employer will comply with its obligations in terms of section 197A if the new employer employs transferred employees on terms and conditions that are on the whole not less favourable to the employees than those on which they were employed by the old employer. However, if the terms and conditions are determined by a collective agreement, this will continue to apply. RECOURSE The CCMA and or Bargaining Council has no jurisdiction to consider the validity of an order of insolvency or liquidation issued by the High Court. Employee’s recourse would therefore be in lodging a claim with the trustees or liquidators. CLOSING YOUR BUSINESS The EOHCB Constitution requires members to give three months written notice to the divisional manager when membership is terminated. The same principle applies for when you close your business. Keep in mind that the Bargaining Council will upon receipt of closure notification, request an Agent to conduct an inspection to confirm the closure of the business and thereafter only issue a “code 9”. This means that the business is made inactive and will no longer attract any costs. RELEVANT LEGISLATION Basic Conditions of Employment Act, Insolvency Act; Labour relations Act, and the Companies Act.

“We baptized our fifth collection with a strange word that, of course, is not academic at all. We love breaking the rules so… here’s ColorOPTIMIST!" It seems we are starting to leave behind a gray period -a dark gray that seems almost black. It has been a very sad time for humanity. The whole world has been shaken as if a tsunami had reached the planet from top to bottom. A virus, one of the smallest known forms of life, has plunged us into total desolation and has exposed the miseries of human beings: selfishness, classism, aporophobia and, especially, inequality among our peers. Despite this, in 2020 there were also flashes of optimism, solidarity, understanding and respect between people, but was it a mirage? Perhaps the pandemic has been a necessary turning point to look inward and start a catharsis that makes this a better world. The arrival of vaccines has provided a glimmer of hope. Hopefully, from 2021 onwards, that gray storm that invaded us will turn into a rainbow of vibrant colors, that move us and remind us of the joy of living, but of living in a more egalitarian and respectful society with humans and the planet. This is our inspiration from a conceptual point of view.

The Minister of Employment and Labour has published, in the Government Gazette, a new consolidated COVID-19 Direction on Occupational Health and Safety in the Workplace (Revised OHS Direction). The Revised OHS Direction replaces the Direction that was published on 1 October 2020. Access to the revised Consolidated OHS Direction can be obtained on the EOHCB website under the resources tab (OHS IN THE WORKPLACE - COVID-19 VACCINATIONS - UPDATED DIRECTIVE - 11 JUNE 2021) Apart from a number of minor technical changes, the principal changes contained in Revised OHS Direction concern the measures employers will be required to put in place in so far as the vaccination of workers is concerned. The Revised OHS Direction was engaged on at length at NEDLAC with all social partners providing input on how best to ensure that employers discharge their general statutory duties, as contained in the Occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (OHSA) which is to “provide a working environment that is safe and without risk to the health of his employees and persons other than those in his employment who may be directly affected by his activities are not thereby exposed to hazards to their health or safety.” Although the Revised OHS Direction does not make it mandatory for all workers to be vaccinated, it does make provision for those employers who, as a result of operational requirements, intend to make C19 vaccinations mandatory to do the following: Within 21 days from the date of publication of the Revised OHS Direction, to identify, by way of a written risk assessment, those employees who by virtue of the risk of transmission through their work or their risk for severe COVID-19 disease or death due to their age or comorbidities, must be vaccinated. Once the employees in step (1) have been identified, an employer must amend its COVID-19 plan to include the measures it will implement to ensure the vaccination of those employees (as and when they become eligible for vaccination in terms of Government’s phased roll-out plan). In amending a COVID-19 plan to make provision for mandatory vaccinations, an employer must take into account the guidelines set out in Annexure C of the Revised OHS Direction and must also take into account the constitutional rights of its employees. If an employee refuses, despite the risk assessment conducted by an employer identifying that employee as high risk, to take the vaccine, an employer must follow the steps contained in paragraph 5 (2) of Annexure C. There is nothing contained in the Revised OHS Direction which prohibits an employer from dismissing an employee who has been identified as high risk and who has refused to be vaccinated (and cannot be reasonably accommodated) but employers are encouraged, before considering such action, to seek labour relations support through the EOHCB given the complexities of such a dismissal. Most notably, employers are alerted to the fact that there are provisions contained in the Revised OHS Direction which apply regardless of whether an employer has decided to make vaccinations mandatory or not. In brief, these are as follows: Employers must provide their employees information on the nature of the COVID-19 vaccines used in South Africa, the benefits of being vaccinated and the nature of the side effects that can be experienced when a person is vaccinated. Employers must assist employees to register on the EVDS portal (when employees become eligible to register for their vaccination). Employers must give employees paid time off work to be vaccinated if the date and time allocated to an employee is during hours that the employee is ordinarily at work. The EOHCB encourages all employers, in the interest of health and safety at workplaces, to regularly provide their employees with accurate and up to date information concerning vaccines as to ensure that employees are in a position to make an informed decision when they become eligible for vaccination.
