Are you a Domestic Employer?
If you employ someone to work in your private household for more than 24 hours a month, you are legally an employer. This includes:
- 🧹 Housekeepers / Cleaners
- 🌳 Gardeners
- 👶 Nannies & Au Pairs
- 🚗 Drivers
The Risk of Non-Compliance
Domestic workers often approach the CCMA upon dismissal. If they are not registered for UIF, the employer faces penalties, back-payments, and potential legal costs far exceeding the cost of registration. Domestic workers are fully covered by the Detailed Basic Conditions of Employment Act.
