Why you need it
The law says every employer, also a household, must give a domestic worker their job details in writing. A clear contract stops arguments about hours, pay, leave and rules before they start, and protects you both at the CCMA.
Our contract already includes the 2026 rules
- Minimum wage R30.23 an hour, checked live while you type
- 5 days family responsibility leave (domestic workers get 5, not 3)
- New shared parental leave of 4 months and 10 days
- COIDA: registering with the Compensation Fund for injuries at work
- Correct meal breaks, overtime limits, Sunday pay and standby for nannies
- Only legal deductions: no money taken off for breakages

Questions
Is this contract legal?
Yes. It follows the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, Sectoral Determination 7 for domestic workers, the National Minimum Wage, COIDA and POPIA, as they stand in November 2026. It never gives your worker less than the law. If the law changes later, the law wins.
Who does it work for?
Anyone employed in a private home: cleaners, housekeepers, gardeners, nannies, au pairs, cooks and chefs, caregivers for the elderly or sick, and household drivers. Live-in or live-out, full-time or part-time.
Where do my answers go?
Nowhere. Your answers stay on your phone or computer. After you pay, our payment server sends the document layout to your device, and your device puts your answers in and makes the PDF. iNRECO never sees your worker's details.
What if my worker earns less than the minimum wage?
The page will not let you continue. The National Minimum Wage is R30.23 an hour from 1 March 2026. It changes every year, usually on 1 March.
Can my worker be younger than 18?
Nobody younger than 15 may be employed, so the page blocks that. Workers aged 15 to 17 may not do risky work, and the contract adds the extra rules for them.
Do I have to register for UIF and COIDA?
Yes. If your worker works more than 24 hours a month you must register for UIF and pay 1% plus 1% every month. Household employers must also register with the Compensation Fund (COIDA) so that injuries at work are covered. The contract explains both.
Can I take money off for things that break?
No. The law for domestic workers does not allow deductions for breakages, loss or damage. Only UIF, tax, unpaid absence, up to 10% for a proper room, and agreed loan repayments (max 10%) or fund payments. The Code of Conduct shows the fair way to deal with carelessness.
I paid but the download did not appear
Keep the page open for a minute while PayFast confirms. If you closed it, open this page again on the same device and it will check again. Still stuck? WhatsApp us with your order number (it starts with DOM-).
Can I change it after I download?
You can download again on the same device, and fix spelling or details in the form first. Big changes after signing must be written down and signed by both of you.
