Dear EOHCB Member & Industry, During the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses have had had to drastically adapt and change the way that they functioned to limit their risk of exposure as far as possible. Many businesses have moved over to virtual platforms and work remotely. With many meetings being conducted online it has come into question if hearings and consultations such as disciplinary hearings and retrenchment consultations are possible via video conferencing facilities. Judgments The Labour Relations Act does not prescribe the form which a consultation process must assume, as long as the principles of the Act and the Code of Good Practice on Operational Requirements are applied. In an urgent application to the Labour Court in the case of Food and Allied Workers Union (FAWU) vs South African Breweries (Pty) Ltd (SAB) & another (2020) the court stated that although it is preferable to have face-to-face consultations during the section 189 consultation process, the COVID-19 pandemic has seen remote meetings become the ‘new normal’. The Court held that in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, where physical consultations were not possible, it is fair to hold consultation proceedings via video conference platforms in the interests of health and safety and to adhere to social distancing. The Labour Court also dealt with the use of virtual platforms in arbitration hearings in Simmers v Campbell Scientific Africa where the Judge held that while it was not an ideal situation to allow a witness to testify via Skype or a long-distance telephone link, it was justifiable due to the fact that this precedent has been set. In addition, the allowing of evidence to be led via Skype or any other electronic platform may lead to fewer postponements and costs being saved in the form of transporting and accommodating witnesses. The CCMA has also been given discretion to conduct their processes in this manner. Considerations The ‘audi alteram partem’ principle (i.e., the opportunity for a person to state his or her case) has been and remains of utmost importance in cases where the outcome can have adverse consequences to the persons effected as it can affect the substantive fairness of the outcome. Employers need to consider the nature of the matter and if it is possible to communicate effectively via electronic platforms (i.e., are the participants familiar with the platform?) as well as the practicality of conducting processes on a web-based platform due to accessibility to technology in rural areas. Recommendation Although the courts have endorsed the conducting of arbitration processes, whether a virtual hearing will be beneficial or prejudicial to a case needs to be determined based on the circumstances at hand.

A great reminder that applies to your salon business as well as to personal fitness, as the cold season starts!

The new catches us with a promise to surprise us and not disappoint us. It is always an attractive and seductive concept of a future that sneaks into the present to shock us. Surprise is like a mantra that we pursue until it fills us, to quickly start the search again. Devotion to the new is part of Generation Z’s communication mode, and that is what this collection, full of striking images, vibrant colors and finishes that suggest movement, recreates. Hair glides through in an energetic atmosphere, which represents everything that has just arrived. That is why textures are full of creative electricity and colors are intense, as a reflection of emotions and heartbeats caused by new findings.

Auctions are the best way to buy all things weird and wonderful. Like hair, for example! Six luscious strands from Kurt Cobain’s noggin were recently up for auction by Iconic Auctions. Cobain’s hair was cut by a friend in 1989 and was up for auction with a minimum bid of $2 500 (around R35 000). The final winning bid when the auction closed on the 15th May, was $13,800.00 (around R193 000) That’s an expensive haircut. Cut any famous rockstars hair lately, best hold onto those locks!

Achieve perfectly clear blonde results with Lightplex, the advanced new bond lightening system from Kadus Professional. Clients the world over define the best colourists by their ability to deliver perfect blonde results. Now, new LightPlex Bond System with Pro-Plex Technology makes it easy to live up to the expectation. Live your blonde ambition and deliver perfectly clear, classic or creative blonde results – with LightPlex! As a colourist you are no doubt aware of the potential damage the lightening process can cause to hair. It can make it prone to breakage which in turn, leads to damaged and fragile hair. The good news is that LightPlex with Pro-Plex Technology turns that on its head, ensuring up to 97% less hair breakage. * Pro-Plex Technology uses malic acid to strengthen against breakage before, during and after the lightening process leaving your client’s hair strong and moisturised: Before the lightening process begins, Pro-Plex Technology deeply penetrates malic acid into the hair. 1. LightPlex Bond Lightening Powder No. 1 is a premixed lightening solution that deeply penetrates the hair to help you achieve perfectly clear blonde results. Our exclusively developed, pure white lightening powder is a premixed solution that delivers up to 7 levels of lift and can be used for all lightening applications and techniques, on or off scalp. During the stabilising process, Pro-Plex Technology activates the already deposited malic acid deep within the hair, at the same time adding more malic acid. This allows bonds to reconnect after the lightening process and it stabilises the hair from within. 2. LightPlex Bond Completion In-Salon Treatment No. 2 reconnects hair bonds to stabilise the hair from within. It also neutralises the pre-lightening process resulting in smooth, shiny and resilient hair. After the lightening process, at-home retention products with Pro-Plex Technology continue to add malic acid to the hair to reinforce bonds. 3. LightPlex Bond Retention Mask No. 3 keeps the hair strong and moisturised. Also available in the at-home care range are LightPlex Bond Retention Shampoo and LightPlex Bond Retention Conditioner * when used in combination with Bond Completion No. 2 In-Salon Treatment To stock LIGHTPLEX BOND SYSTEM in your salon, place an order with your Modern Hair & Beauty sales representative or call our Telesales on 0806 104 109.
