Remarks:

    - The LRA which regulates unfair dismissal applies to all employers and employees in both the public and the private sectors, with the exception of members of the National Defence Force, the National Intelligence Agency and the South African Secret Service (sec. 2, LRA). The BCEA contains a similar exclusion but also excludes unpaid volunteers working for charitable organizations and merchant seamen (except for the provision on severance pay). These are protected against unfair dismissal under the LRA.
    - The specific provisions on the BCEA on termination of employment (i.e notice, severance pay) do not apply to employees who work less than 24 hours in a month for a employer.
