In the process of examining these contingencies, the book deals with legislation such as the Social Assistance Act, Pension Funds Act, Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act, Unemployment Insurance Act, Basic Conditions of Employment Act and Medical Schemes Act. Essential Social Security Law also considers new statutes that have come into operation since the previous edition.
