POPIA and remote working employees

14 September 2021

I’m the owner of a small financial services firm. With Covid-19, like many businesses, we enabled staff to work from... home. The arrangement is working well and we are contemplating retaining the option of remote work for some of our staff. Is there anything specific we need to do from a POPIA perspective in respect of such remote working staff?

CCTV cameras in the workplace? Allowed or not?

14 September 2021

We have had a spate of thefts in our business over the last few months. Yet none of our employees... ever see anything or know anything, which have us thinking that the thefts may be wider than just one or two employees. We are considering installing CCTV cameras to monitor the situation and also prevent further thefts, but are unsure about the rules for monitoring employees with CCTV cameras and also using such footage should we pick up misconduct. Can you maybe advise on how we should go about this?

Can you sequestrate an ex-spouse for failing to pay maintenance?

14 September 2021

My ex-husband is required to pay maintenance every month in terms of our divorce settlement. He has stopped paying, saying... he can’t afford it anymore and is now considerably in arrears. I know he has a lot of financial assets that can cover what he owes me, but he just says he can’t liquidate those now as he will lose money. Can I have him sequestrated so he can pay up?

Management accounts still OK for BEE verifications?

14 September 2021

My manufacturing business has been growing steadily and I expect it will go above the R50 million turnover mark this... financial year. That said, its not a given, and I’m hesitant to spend on BEE planning before I’m sure we will go over this mark. Will I be able to first wrap up the financial year and thereafter do the necessary BEE expenditure and verify the business using management accounts for the first quarter after the financial year-end?

Can I run a business from a residential property?

14 September 2021

I’m looking at buying an old house and renovating such to use as offices for my general medical practice. In... the area that I’m looking at there are a number of small businesses also operating from houses. However, I want to make sure I’m allowed to run my practice from this property.
