Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC) – Portal Login

Education Labour Relations Council (ELRC) – Portal Login The establishment of the ELRC in 1994 at its founding meeting in Pretoria was a significant milestone for labour relations and education in South Africa. The ELRC has over the years succeeded in signing collective agreements that directly benefit educators in classrooms.

The Council serves educators in the public education sector, specifically those employed in terms of the Employment of Educators Act 76 of 1998.

The Council also serves the learners of this country by effectively resolving disputes in public education that involve the child as victim or witness and therefore comply with Section 28 of the Constitution of South Africa, which provides that the child’s rights is of paramount importance in every matter concerning a child.

ELRC DISPUTE MANAGEMENT SERVICES

The primary business of the ELRC is to promote the maintenance of labour peace in the public education sector in South Africa, through the provision of dispute management (and prevention) services. To this end, the grievances and disputes of educators and officials are resolved through conciliation and/or arbitration.

Over the years, disputes involving promotion/appointment of educators and dismissals have been referred to the ELRC for resolution in terms of the provisions of the Act and the constitution of the ELRC.

The ELRC, as a bargaining Council, administers the resolution of the disputes referred, through a conciliation and arbitration process. This process enables the ELRC’s appointed panelist to act as the presiding officer between parties to the dispute (employer and employee). To date more than 2500 arbitration awards have been issued under the auspices of the ELRC. The Council has also signed various resolutions pertaining to, amongst others the recruitment and the filling of posts, benefits and terms and conditions of employment. The Dispute Management Services (DMS), through its groundbreaking approaches has ascended to a seat of prominence in the South African Dispute Resolution Arena.
