A domestic worker averaging 8 hours a day for 20 days a month will earn a minimum of just over R4,000 per month from March.
Labour minister Thulas Nxesi decreed that the national minimum wage, the base number for a range of calculations, will be set to R25.42 per hour from that date.The R25.42 rate will be the minimum for nearly all employees, including domestic workers and farm workers, with the notable exception of people employed in the government's expanded public works system. They may be paid as little as R13.97 per hour, which remains at a level of just about 55% the minimum wage.
BISouthAfrica Where i need it
BISouthAfrica Sounds fab! Then professional salaries must be doubled as well..to afford this thought?
BISouthAfrica Government paying R130 per day meaning for 20 days which is a month they pay R2600 .
BISouthAfrica Let the Chinese take over SA and see what everyone gets paid.
BISouthAfrica I can see more domestic workers losing their jobs.
BISouthAfrica So it's easy for government to dictate how we should pay our workers, while they can't pay their employees what they are asking for, after 2yrs of no increase 🤔 👹👹👹
BISouthAfrica Many domestics will loose their jobs
BISouthAfrica I hope that people pay more than min wage
BISouthAfrica All pay should go up! It is disgusting how little South Africans make with proper jobs vs the cost of living.
BISouthAfrica If you can't afford help, do the work yourself. Where does this entitlement come from. Your needs don't vindicate you from exploiting people. Live within your means. Helpers work very hard and long hours. Adjust the hours they work to what you are able to pay them.
BISouthAfrica What if the person also eats lunch there the workplace
BISouthAfrica I foresee retrenchments coming... many people won't afford it.
BISouthAfrica Timevto do your own house work ...more unemployment ...more R350 grant pay out ..cant afford it ..times are diffucult ..food is more important now .
BISouthAfrica Fuck that, go enjoy your R 350 grant
BISouthAfrica This is a problem to the economy to both employers and employees I wonder how it will be resolved
BISouthAfrica Good. This country rests upon the shoulders of domestic workers. Without their income, those families would be completely destitute, children unable to go to school or university and local businesses would be without customers
ayshamoolla BISouthAfrica About time domestic workers get paid better. There is so much abuse in this sector. People do not respect the value of domestic work in their own lives. Live in the UK and see what domestic work pay is?
BISouthAfrica Mina Hola R15000 after deduction usisi obhekele ingane ngibhadala R2000 per month uhlala kwami udla kwami uoffa every weekend ngiyamdropa endlin kwakhe ngimlande futhi. Mina angeke kwenz nokho sorry
BISouthAfrica Many of these employers are not rich people, some don't even earn that well but circumstances forces them to seek help from others and with such high rate of unemployment people are forced to accept a mere R2000.
BISouthAfrica In other news the unemployment rate hits new highs from first of March, all the socialists are wondering why
BISouthAfrica Please share with every domestic worker you know.. This info might not reach them ❤️❤️
BISouthAfrica $10,542 earned within the last 3 months from my crypto investments with Lisa_berry77 Now I'm looking to learn even as my investment continues with her. You really need to experience that feeling of earning while you learn.
BISouthAfrica Viva unemployment. Let them sit at home and collect R350. Atleast they will have R20 for tambai to go and vote for ANC and EFF
BISouthAfrica In Europe, a domestic worker gets paid 50euros a day minimum.
BISouthAfrica Who'll enforce it?
BISouthAfrica I'm still surprised some people pay 150 a day. Been paying well over minimum for like 3 years and still above after this increase excl other stuff. If u trust the person with your house and expect them to take off it, you should pay accordingly.
BISouthAfrica Zimbabweans and Lesotho domestic workers will be so happy
Employers shud challenge him in court!!! ANC Ministers are a joke, they are in their own world without a care for the repercussions of their action. Soon factories will move to Swaziland and Lesotho and more Sans will be unemployed! Great job Thulas Nxesi!!!
While his slave labour is free for him
