English to Afrikaans: Have you spoken to your staff about their annual shutdown leave? General field: Bus/Financial Detailed field: Human Resources
Source text - English Have you spoken to your staff about their annual shutdown leave?
COVID-19 has left many people without enough leave days to cover their companies’ annual shutdown periods in December and January.
Do you know you can let your staff take leave on credit?
The employees can then reduce their negative leave balances when they start working again. i.e., “one day of annual leave on full remuneration for every 17 days on which the employee worked or was entitled to be paid” (as per Basic Conditions of Employment Act).
An employee might leave the company before wiping out his or her negative leave balance, but it could be worth taking the risk.
Other alternatives for staff without enough leave credits:
• Organise work for them.
• Use the period for training.
• Let them work from home if possible.
Key to good workplace relations is to plan and communicate with your staff ahead of time to find the best solutions for the company and employees. It must be in line with legislation and signed by all parties.
Translation - Afrikaans Het jy al met jou personeel gepraat oor hulle jaarlikse sluitingsverlof?
Weens COVID-19 het baie mense nie genoeg verlofdae oor vir hulle maatskappye se jaarlike sluitingsperiodes in Desember en Januarie nie.
Weet jy dat jy jou personeel verlof op krediet kan laat neem?
Die werkers kan dan hulle negatiewe verlofbalans verminder wanneer hulle weer begin werk, bv., “een dag jaarlikse verlof met volle besoldiging vir elke 17 dae waarop die werknemer gewerk het of op betaling geregtig was” (soos in die Wet op Basiese Diensvoorwaardes).
‘n Werknemer kan dalk die maatskappy verlaat voordat sy of haar negatiewe verlofbalans gedelg is, maar dit kan die moeite werd wees om die kans te waag.
Ander moontlikhede vir personeel sonder genoeg verlofkrediete:
• Reël werk vir hulle.
• Gebruik die tyd vir opleiding.
• Laat hulle van die huis af werk, indien moontlik.
Die sleutel tot goeie werkplekverhoudings is om vroeg met jou personeel te kommunikeer en saam te beplan om die beste oplossings vir beide besigheid en werkers te vind. Dit moet met in lyn wees met wetgewing en deur alle partye onderteken word.

I am passionate about language and communication and helping people to say what they mean and to speak the language their audiences understand and want to hear.
As an accredited trainer and communication consultant I believe the ability to produce accurate, concise, and professional documents is fundamental in the operations of any business.
My exposure in a diversity of operations in the public and private sector has provided me with many opportunities to engage with communications and learning materials for a variety of audiences. I also pride myself in not missing deadlines.
Having worked as a teacher, accredited facilitator, script and children’s fiction writer, journalist, editor, media and -parliamentary liaison officer, researcher, speech writer, and CEO of a non-governmental organisation, I have invaluable experience in producing professional business documents and other reading material.
