@ashwin_singh_dbn Section 198B of the Labour Relations Act applies to employees earning below the BCEA threshold (currently R254,371.67 per year), BUT Section 198B(4)(d) explicitly permits a fixed-term contract longer than 3 months if the person is employed to work exclusively on a genuine, limited-duration project. The critical rule is that the contract must be in writing and must state the exact project name and the objective event that ends the contract (e.g. 'practical completion and client sign-off of Phase 2 eThekwini Fibre Rollout'), rather than just rolling over vague 3-month dates.
