Labour law in the age of Al

April 28, 2026

In recent years, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly transformed the modern workplace, reshaped operational processes and altered how employees perform their duties.

- Law firm Meyer, Van Sittert and Kropman explains.

This technological shift is significantly influencing the global economy, particularly the labour market, where AI-driven changes are becoming increasingly evident.Within the South African context, digital transformation intersects with an established labour law framework designed to safeguard fair labour practices. As a result, the introduction of AI in workplaces must align with key legislative requirements to ensure that employers uphold their statutory obligations.

Several core statutes regulate workplace relations and technological transition in South Africa. These include, among others, the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (LRA), the Employment Equity Act 55 of 1998 (EEA), the Skills Development Act 97 of 1998 (SDA), and the Occupational Health and Safety Act 85 of 1993 (OHSA).

Collectively, these laws promote fair labour practices, employee consultation, ongoing skills development, and safe working environments amid technological change.

KEY LEGISLATIVE CONSIDERATIONS WHEN INTRODUCING AI IN THE WORKPLACE

1. Labour Relations Act (LRA)

The LRA plays a central role in regulating employee participation where workplace changes are introduced.
