Does the CCMA have jurisdiction to determine the dispute over the independent contractor?

The Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) generally has jurisdiction over disputes involving employees rather than independent contractors. However, if the nature of the relationship can be shown to resemble an employment relationship, the CCMA may have jurisdiction to hear the dispute. Factors such as control, dependence, and the intention of the parties can influence this determination. Ultimately, it would depend on the specific circumstances and evidence presented in the case.
