Well you are welcome to take me on at the CCMA. I would sue your arse,as the employer, in a civil capacity, if I were the employee.
Other than the time and in all probability the SAPS view, if you are going to make a case against an employee, lets stick with the theft theme, you had better make sure that it is rock solid and you would need to pursue the matter to completion. This that in itself is going to cost you a whack of time and money. It would take a year or two plus at least 4 or 5 appearances at court if you are lucky. If you withdraw the matter or fail to convict, remembering that a criminal matter requires a guilty without doubt result, the civil case against you is a slam dunk!!!
Furthermore, I turn to Workplace Law, written by John Grogan, arguably the foremost writer on Labour Law in SA, and a practicing advocate, former commisioner and judge, hence there can be no doubt to his credentials - and I can find absolutely no mention of the concept of reporting every matter to the SAP, as you suggest. NOW I think it is safe to conclude, that if this reporting idea was of such importance, a learned practioner and writer would make a mention of it in his works.
