How it works

From a few lines of facts to a finished document.

No legal training, no template-hunting, no labour consultant on retainer. Three steps, about a minute.

Step one

Tell us what happened

Employers: upload your disciplinary code and describe the incident. Employees: upload the letter your employer sent you and tell us your side. Plain words — no legal jargon required.

Step two

Draftly builds it on SA law

Your document is drafted on your facts, cited to the Labour Relations Act & Schedule 8, and — for employers — your own code. An internal review panel checks it for gaps before it reaches you.

Step three

A Word document in about 60 seconds — ready to edit, print, and serve or submit. Yours to keep, with no Draftly branding on it.

See exactly what you get

A real document, not a fill-in-the-blank template.

Every document is written out in full on your facts and cited to South African law — the way a labour practitioner would draft it. Here is the shape of two of them.

RESPONSE TO CHARGE SHEET

To the Chairperson and Initiator · Disciplinary hearing of 22 May 2026

I confirm receipt of the Notice of Hearing and reserve all my procedural rights, including sight of the documents the employer intends to rely on.

Charge 1 (habitual late-coming): I partly admit this charge. I was late on two of the three dates due to a documented taxi strike on my route, and I notified my supervisor by message on each occasion.

Relief sought: that the charge be reduced to a written warning in light of my four years' clean record and the circumstances above…

Sample output. Illustrative names and facts — your document is written on your own.

Why it's correct — and safe

The detail that keeps a document standing up.

Built on SA law

Every document is drafted to the Labour Relations Act and Schedule 8 — the procedural standard the CCMA measures fairness against.

Your own rules

Employer documents are built on your disciplinary code and letterhead — the charges cite your clauses, not a generic template's.

Checked before you send

An internal review panel runs over every document, flagging missing particulars or procedural gaps before it ever reaches you.

POPIA-aware

Your information stays private and we store no ID numbers. An employee's use of Draftly is never visible to their employer.

Questions people ask before they start

The honest answers.

Is this legal advice?

No. Draftly is a document-drafting service. It builds documents from your facts and cites the Labour Relations Act and Schedule 8, but it is not a law firm and not a substitute for advice on a complex matter. For those, speak to a labour practitioner or the CCMA.

Will it hold up at the CCMA?

Documents are built to the procedural standard the LRA and Schedule 8 set — the same fairness the CCMA measures against. Whether a matter ultimately succeeds still turns on your facts, and where your case looks complex the document says so.

What if my matter is complex?

Draftly handles standard disciplinary and workplace matters well. If yours involves something like discrimination, whistleblowing, or constructive dismissal, it will flag that you should get professional help rather than pretending to cover it.

Do I need a subscription?

Employers pay a flat monthly plan from R249 — for any number of staff. Employees don't subscribe at all: pay per case from R49, with no login and no ongoing commitment.

Is my information private?

Yes. Draftly is POPIA-aware: your information is encrypted, we store no ID numbers, and we never share it. An employee's use of Draftly is never visible to their employer.

Draftly is a document drafting company. It produces documents based on the information you provide. It is not a substitute for legal advice.
