The Competition Commission has accepted Massmart’s remedial plan to reinstate the remaining 94 of the 503 employees who were retrenched in 2009 and 2010.

The remedial plan had followed the commission’s belief that Massmart had breached a 2012 Competition Appeal Court order to reinstate the employees as a condition of the merger between it and Wal-Mart.

Although Massmart was of the view that it had complied with the order, it engaged the commission, as well as the South African Commercial Catering and Allied Workers Union, to resolve concerns after it was found that only 286 employees were reinstated by the merged entity.

The group tabled a remedial plan outlining the reinstatement of certain employees, with back pay, who participated in the remedial plan and accepted Massmart’s reinstatement offer, those who had not or had received the merging parties’ initial offer letters of reinstatement and those that had not responded to the offer, besides others.

Massmart would report to the commission on the progress of the implementation on September 1, September 15 and October 10.
