The customer submits a complaint through official channels, e.g. walk-in, e-mail, telephone and social media.

Step 2

The complaint is received and acknowledged with its receipt offered within three working days.

Step 3

Documentation and Assessment of the complaint handling committee determines whether the complaint falls within the mandate of NYS.

If the complaint is not resolved, the case is escalated to the relevant technical office.

Step 4

The complaint is received by the relevant office-the relevant office acknowledges receipt within 3 working days and records it.

If the complaint is resolved, the root cause of the complaint is established and corrective action is taken after which the case is closed.

If the complaint is not resolved, the case is escalated to the office of the director general.

The office of the Director General reviews the cases and gives directions on resolution.

The DG also communicates officially to the complainant.

Records and reports are then submitted to the CAJ.
