Top of Page Domestic HelpFive recommendations in respect of minimum wages: - They vary from R 600 in urban areas to R 400 in rural areas.
- We have set an hourly rate as well as a monthly rate. The reason for this is to encourage employers who cannot afford the minimum wages to decrease the number of hours that their domestic workers work.
- We have said that the wage can be reduced by only up to 25% if accommodation of a reasonable standard is provided.
- Wages should be increased by 7% each year in the second and third year of the sectoral determination.
