1. UIF
Register if your worker exceeds 24 hours per month. Contributions: 1% employer + 1% employee (2% of salary). You generally can't "catch up" by deducting only from the worker later — and SARS / fund penalties may apply.

Your R499.99 compliance package includes
UIF registration · COIDA registration · BCEA work contract — everything the spreadsheet positions for household employers (Risk Class 16D for domestic).
UIF registration
Monthly declarations and uFiling-aligned setup. Covers unemployment, maternity, illness and related benefits when you're registered — important for workers who earn above the 24 hours per month threshold.
COIDA registration
Compensation Fund coverage for injury and occupational disease. Claims are handled through the fund — not from your pocket — when you're properly registered (household Risk Class 16D).
BCEA work contract
Written particulars covering hours, leave, notice, termination and rates aligned with NMW / sector rules (e.g. R30.23/hr domestic sector reference from our FAQ pack). Stronger position if a dispute arises.
What you risk without compliance
Most household employers want to do the right thing — but gaps in UIF, payslips, COIDA or contracts show up when something goes wrong.
R10,000+ fines
Non-registration and related offences (see Dept of Labour / fund rules).
Personal liability
Without COIDA, injury-related costs may land on you — not the Compensation Fund.
CCMA & backpay
Missing payslips and poor records weaken your case in disputes and inspections.
Serious injury or death: without COIDA and proper registration, families may struggle to access fund benefits — and you may face enforcement and liability you never planned for.
Why PaySlipPro exists
PaySlipPro was born from a simple belief: the people who care for our homes and families deserve dignity, protection, and recognition under the law.
Too often we hear stories of domestic workers who worked loyally for years — then, after illness, unemployment or death, their families discover no UIF or other benefits because registration never happened. Not always out of bad intent: the process felt complicated and life got busy.
Our founder is a Chartered Accountant with 20+ years' experience — but PaySlipPro comes from gratitude and empathy for nannies, cleaners, gardeners and caregivers who keep households running.
Your employee's work matters. Their protection matters. Compliance is how we honour that.
Your legal responsibilities (South Africa)
If you employ someone in your home — cleaner, nanny, gardener or carer — you're an employer under labour law, full-time or part-time.
2. Payslips (BCEA)
A payslip is required each time you pay, including part-time and cash payments. It must show employer/employee details, period, earnings, deductions and net pay.
3. COIDA
Register for injury and occupational disease cover — slips, falls and accidents in the course of work. Without it, compensation costs may come from you.
4. Employment contract
A written contract should set out hours, pay, leave, notice and UIF-related arrangements. Disputes without clear documents often favour the employee.
The "24-hour" threshold (why one day a week can still matter)
A worker on one day per week can reach 24 hours in a 4-week month — and 30 hours in a 5-week month. Many employers only discover UIF obligations when something goes wrong. PaySlipPro helps you get ahead of that.
Common myths
- ✗ "They only work one day a week." → You may still be above the monthly hour threshold.
- ✗ "I pay cash, so no payslip." → Payslips are still required.
- ✗ "It's informal." → Labour law still applies.
