Contract - Domestic work arrangements have been agreed to very informally in the past with few employer and employee relationships documented in proper, written contracts. As a result of too many domestic workers being exploited, working in unfavourable conditions for long hours and poor pay the Department has regulated this sector. On top of stricter law enforcement, more domestic workers are ready to take an employer to the CCMA in event of a dispute, whether justified or not. Without some formalized agreement between employer and worker, getting a fair outcome becomes much harder. The Basic Conditions of Employment Act requires employers to conclude a written employment agreement with their domestic workers, gardeners and childminders (including drivers of children) and those who look after the sick, aged or disabled in private homes.
