This process can become very messy when you are dealing with hundreds of employees, all with their own records and some threatening to take you to court.

IR Assist is a software tool that provides line managers with the ability to manage within the complexity of the labour relations environment confidently. The features of the tool includes:

• Provides managers and supervisors with a systematic way of determining if there is reason to initiate a disciplinary or counseling session.
• Leads managers and supervisors, step by step, through the process, thus ensuring consistent application of the company's labour policies.
• Sets up and records the minutes and outcomes of disciplinary or counseling meetings.
• Stores the information from all disciplinary actions so they can be easily retrieved if required.
• Reduces time spent and potential losses incurred at CCMA Arbitration hearings.

It guides you through the following activities legally and correctly according to the South African labour laws.

• Initiating a new case
• Conducting an investigation / Hearing
• Handling case outcomes.

Other features include reports in the form of pie charts of all the offences and the ability to work off-line and then synchronies the program as a new case occurs.

The purpose of IR Assist is that if all the information regarding an employee, in terms of their labour relations, is correct and if the program is followed 100% correctly your employee will not be able to take you to the CCMA without you having a strong, legal case to back your side of the story.
