EXPLAINER: What it means for SAA to be in 'business rescue'

If the business rescue practitioner finds there is no reasonable chance a rescue plan can succeed, he files a petition for liquidation.South Africa's strong labour laws extend to business rescue. Employees continue to work for the company on the same terms and conditions and must be consulted throughout the process.

Any changes to workers' employment, including layoffs or salary and benefit cuts, must be agreed between the company and employees in accordance with labour laws. Business rescue leaves workers in a better position than a liquidation under which contracts are suspended and claims for salaries and retirement benefits are capped.Company employees also sit near the top in the order of preference for the payment of claims.

They rank just below the business rescue practitioner's own remuneration and the costs of the process. Then come lenders with secured claims dating from before the process began, followed by creditors who provided financing or services after the company was placed in business rescue.

It contributes to SA income in tourism in which many people will attend local businesses for their needs 🚶‍♂️

Liquidation is the better option. If I were an SAA employee, I would have looked for a alternative five or more years ago.
