(2) whether she has found that each specified provincial office has the staffing capacity to deal with the case load; if not, what is the position in this regard; if so, what are the relevant details?
NW3871E
The CCMA has during its caseload climb period over the last few years adopted a going concern strategy, as well as a process for reviewing its business model to revaluate how its funding model operates. During this process a different strategy in utilising Commissioners was adopted. This enabled the organisation to meet its caseload demands and efficiencies. It is still in the process of evaluating the ongoing sustainability of the processes adopted. The organization employs both full time and part time commissioners.
