Retrenchment According to StatsSA’s Quarterly Labour Force Survey, more than two million South Africans lost their jobs in the second quarter of 2020 – during the height of Covid-19 lockdowns. When companies are faced with budget cuts, they often opt to cut independent contractors and freelancers before looking to retrench permanent staff. As a freelancer, I was effectively “retrenched” twice in the space of a year.  What did we learn?  While it may yet be early days and many are still trying to patch their finances together, we may see an uptick in the number of retrenchment insurance policies being taken up in years to come. Old Mutual reported paying out R10-million in retrenchment cover in 2019 and one can only surmise that this figure would have increased in 2020.
