    Unilateral changes to terms and conditions of employment vs work practices

    Ram Transport v SATAWU (29 January 2011) J106/11 (Labour Court) Van Niekerk J noted that:-

    This distinction has its roots in the principle that employees do not have a vested right to preserve their conditions of employment completely unchanged from the moment they are employed. In A Mauchle (Pty) Ltd t/a Precsion Tools v NUMSA  [1995] 4 BLLR 11 (LAC) the court distinguished between ‘terms of employment’ on the one hand and ‘work practices’ on the other, the latter being subject to the employer’s prerogative and its introduction not constituting a unilateral change. 

    In this matter, Ram Transport sought to implement new shift times. Prior to the change, the employees worked from 10h00 to 19h00. To deal with an increase in the volume of work, the shift time was changed to start at 9h00, ending at 18h00. In other words, the affected employees were to work the same number of hours, the only difference being that the shift commenced one hour earlier and finished an hour earlier.

    The Judge cited earlier decisions of the Labour Court and noted that

    “that the principles recently referred to by Steenkamp J in Johannesburg Metropolitan Bus Services (Pty) Ltd v SAMWU & others (unreported, case J 2276/10, 10 December 2010), are relevant. In that case, the court reviewed the authorities relevant to changes to work practices on the one hand and terms and conditions of employment on the other, and how to discern the difference between the two. In SA Police Union v National Commissioner of the SA Police Service (2005) 26 ILJ 2403 (LC), Murphy AJ (as he then was) stated:

    In short, it was not a term of the contract of employment that employees working 12 hour shifts would always be entitled to do so. Without express, implied or tacit contractual rights to such effect, the employees do not have a vested right to preserve their working times unchanged for all time. The alteration of shifts does not result in the employees being required to perform a different job thereby entitling them to claim a material breach or alteration in the supposition of the contract. The change in timing does not amount to a change in the nature of the job. The shift system was accordingly a work practice not a term of employment (at 2427 H-J).

    Work practices vs unilateral changes to terms and conditions of employment
