A Valentines day treat for the Applicants!!! In this matter the court had to consider whether the Respondent had complied with an arbitration award or not. This application was brought by the Applicants who had been employed part-time by the Respondent as cooks, and the Respondent would call the Applicants to work once an activity requiring their services occurs in the workplace. The Applicants received R 100 per day for their services and worked for 5 days on average in a month. The Applicants were dismissed from their posts and new employees were appointed to their positions. The Applicants reffered an unfair dismissal dispute to the CCMA and the commissioner found that their dismissal was procedurally and substantively unfair and ordered the Respondent to reinstate the Applicants to their positions on the same terms and conditions before their dismissal. The Labour Court is granted powers under section 158(1)(c)of the Labour Relations Act to make an arbitration award an order of court. The court accordingly made the CCMA arbitration award an order of court. The court in reaching this decision reasoned as follows: "The ordinary meaning of the word "reinstate" is to put the employee in the same job or position he or she occupied before their dismissal. Reinstatement is aimed at placing an employee in the position he/she would have occupied but for the unfair dismissal". The Respondent in this matter had reinstated the Applicants and did not use their services for a period of 3 months meaning they were not renumerated throughout this time. The Respondent failed to comply with the arbitration award as it no longer called the Applicants to come and offer their services as and when they were required which was the position before their dismissal. In consideration of this the court made the arbitration award an order of court and ordered cost in favour of the Applicants. Chocolates and flowers for the Applicants 😊

It's hard to believe that our family company will be celebrating its 80th Anniversary this year (Since 1944).   The last 3 months have been a turbulent time in the Die Sets, Plate, Parallels, and Custom Fabrications market segment. We have seen a 100-year-old manufacture in this segment close their doors (Superior Die Set), and needless to say, this has caused a “ripple effect” through the 5 states we are Blessed to service (MO / IL / KS / IA / NE). But it is in these times of change, we (Lee Horneyer Company) felt it imperative to take a hard “look in the mirror” in the trust and value we are offering to our marketplace in this segment (Die Sets, Plate, Parallels, and Custom Fabrications).   Lee Horneyer Company (Since 1944) is proud to introduce a company that is “that” (On time… As Promised… At a Cost In Line With Fair Market Value), but so much more…..  

It's always a party at Door No. 3! Hat tip for celebrating 30 years in business. I'm grateful to be part of writing this current chapter. From a new business perspective, it's no small feat to grow an agency. For 30 years, no less. Striking the right balance of growth is a delicate dance. Providing excellent care for your existing clients while running ahead to cultivate new clients. Building a sticky culture where top talent wants to stay while creating demand to grow the bench. Marketing for others, while also marketing for yourself. Staying heads down in the work while staying up on constantly evolving trends. You get it. Holding all of these tensions is the daily work of growth. It's the daily inputs, those little disciplines that compound over time. Keep at it today!

Per the posting below...First, great post and Happy Wedding Anniversary...Second, any man who can publicly describe his wife as "noble" just may be among the most exceptional of men....God bless you both and your marriage! AMEN! #marriage  #marriagegoals  #marriageadvice  #joyfulmoments  #joyfuljourney  #joyfulcelebration  #karma  #positivethoughts   #positive  #positivethinking  

When individuals feel supported, heard, and acknowledged, their satisfaction and loyalty increase. We dedicate significant resources to cultivating a culture that embodies these values. #culture #commercialcleaning #teamworkmakesthedreamwork

Some dates are always special such as today, the date when we launched Silver Talkies Club six years ago in 2018, based on the inputs from attendees of our events. They wanted to meet more often, know their co-participants better and have more fun and engaging opportunities. Hence Silver Talkies Club was born in a time and age when active ageing, loneliness and isolation among older adults were not spoken about or discussed much in our country. I was in fact told by many peers that I was playing in a small niche field. Fast forward to 2024, almost every new player in the senior care space is looking at addressing similar issues with similar models. Did we start too early or did they start too late? I think it is immaterial for as they say that all's well that ends well. What is most heartening for me is to note that in the pic below all the people who became members in 2018 are still members in 2024, with the exception of one member whom we lost a few months ago. Six years of relationship still doing strong! So we must be doing something right:) Cheers to healthy ageing! #olderadults #activeageing #seniorcare #healthyageing #anniversary

https://lnkd.in/geVgq5pi #InsuranceStory: I went to school for Business Administration having no clue what career I wanted to pursue. One day while in the library at SUNY Oswego (which didn't happen very often! lol), I decided to look at a book that outlined different careers you could pursue with a 4-year Business Administration Degree. I came across "Insurance Underwriter" which sounded interesting. It was at that moment I decided I wanted to try and get a "leg up" by gaining some insurance experience through an internship. Not knowing the difference between an insurance carrier or agency, I decided to open the phonebook yellow pages (an actual printed book that listed all businesses by category from A-Z, lol) and solicit each insurance business asking if they'd be willing to hire a college intern for the summer. Low and behold, I received a call back from a local prominent independent agency who was willing to bring me in. I spent the summer processing personal lines policies and backing up our claims department by taking claims calls. I continued to work at the agency throughout my senior year of college and during my spring semester, I attended thirteen 8-hour Saturdays of insurance licensing classes. By the time I graduated college, I was a licensed Property Casualty Insurance Broker. I was hired by this agency as a personal-lines insurance broker after graduation, and that is how I began my insurance career! That was 30 years ago and since that time I have held various insurance roles on both the agency and carrier side of the insurance business. I have worked in personal, commercial, life, financial services and surety lines of business. Almost two years ago, I had the opportunity to join Erie Insurance Group as a Senior District Sales Manager in Central New York. I quickly learned what an amazing culture Erie exhibits and I'm SO PROUD to work for such a tremendous organization and the amazing agents that represent us!! Have you ever considered #insurance?

Math is like magic. To the untrained eye it can seemingly produce incoherent results, however, when learned and understood, can produce insights of unimaginable beauty. Running marketing campaigns in your business as an entrepreneur, with or without ADHD, can have similar results. You just need to learn and understand how your business and your mind works.
