In South Africa, domestic workers are covered by the Basic Conditions of Employment Act (BCEA), which sets out certain minimum standards and protections for workers across various sectors, including domestic work. The BCEA provides guidelines on matters such as working hours, leave entitlements, termination procedures, and wages.
Under the BCEA, domestic workers are entitled to certain minimum conditions of employment, including a minimum wage, reasonable working hours, annual leave, sick leave, maternity leave, and family responsibility leave. The specific provisions may vary depending on factors such as the number of hours worked per week and the location of the employment.
It’s important for both employers and domestic workers in South Africa to familiarize themselves with the current labor laws and regulations to ensure compliance and a fair working relationship. It is recommended to consult the Department of Labour or a legal professional for the most up-to-date and accurate information regarding the rights and obligations of domestic workers in South Africa.
