Important — What South African Law Requires

If your domestic worker works more than 24 hours per month, South African law requires you to register them for UIF and COID with the Department of Labour. Non-compliance can result in fines of R5,000 to R50,000 per offence. MyHelper's registered labour practitioners handle the entire registration process with the Department on your behalf — so you stay protected.
