The Risks of Employing a Domestic Worker or Gardener Directly

Since the introduction of stricter domestic worker legislation by the Department of Labour, more households and businesses are choosing to outsource their domestic and garden services to reputable providers such as Rent a Gardener (Pty) Ltd, incorporating Rent a Domestic™.

Hiring a domestic worker or gardener yourself may seem simple — until a labour dispute arises. Many employers unknowingly violate labour laws by not following correct employment and dismissal procedures. As a result, most disputes end up at the CCMA, and losing a CCMA case can cost you thousands of rands in compensation, fines, and legal costs.
