Household Staff Pack
R129
per month · cancel anytime
Domestic workers, gardeners, caregivers & drivers
  • ✓ BCEA-compliant employment contracts
  • ✓ Payslips with UIF calculated automatically
  • ✓ Leave tracking — annual, sick & family responsibility
  • ✓ Code of Conduct with every contract
  • ✓ Warning records for the full disciplinary process
  • ✓ National Minimum Wage checked on every worker
  • ✓ COIDA & UIF registration guidance
What it is
A cloud app that generates every document you legally need for household staff — contract, Code of Conduct, payslips, leave records and warnings.
Purpose
Most households employing domestic staff have no written contract and no payslips. Both are legal requirements, not optional paperwork.
Benefits
Add a worker and the contract and Code of Conduct generate immediately. Payslips calculate UIF and leave accrual for you.
Why you need it
Domestic workers have full CCMA rights. At R129 a month, one avoided dispute pays for years of cover.
"She has worked for us for years — do we really need a contract?"
Length of service makes a contract more important, not less. Without one you cannot prove agreed hours, duties or pay, and the employee's version may carry more weight.

Audit & Diagnostic Tools
Know Where You Stand

Three focused self-audits that show you exactly where your HR gaps are — before a dispute or an inspection does it for you.

⚠ Scope: These self-audits are built on the core statutory requirements (BCEA, LRA, EEA, OHSA) that apply to all South African employers. If your business falls under a Bargaining Council (e.g. metal & engineering, motor, building, road freight) or an industry-specific regulator (e.g. mining, private security, construction), additional sector rules apply that these audits do not cover — confirm your council or sector coverage separately.

You cannot manage what you have not measured. This is your HR health check for the price of a business lunch.

What it is
A rapid plain-English self-assessment. Instant download. 10 minutes to complete.

Benefits

You are getting a mirror held up to your business by someone with 30 years of HR experience. One gap found and fixed early can save you far more than R99.

Is Your Business HR-Ready?
The SA Small Business Self-Audit
R99
Once-off. Instant PDF download.
What it is
A straightforward YES / PARTIAL / NO self-audit that walks your business from the day you hire someone to the day you might have to let them go.
Purpose
Shows you, section by section, exactly which HR basics are actually in place — and which only exist in your head.
Benefits
Covers hiring, contracts, leave, discipline and compliance in one sitting, with space to note your next action for every gap you find.
Why you need it
Most SMEs don't fall foul of the CCMA because they're careless — they fall foul because no one ever walked them through the right questions, in the right order.
"I already have HR policies in place - do I need this?"
Having a policy and having it actually followed are two different things. This audit tests what's really happening on the floor against what your paperwork claims.
  • 30 honest YES / PARTIAL / NO questions
  • 5 sections from hiring to compliance
  • Notes space for actions per section
  • Top 5 priority action list
  • Done in 20 minutes

Up to 20 employees
  • ✓ Everything in Starter
  • ✓ Full progressive discipline engine
  • ✓ Warning tracking + expiry alerts
  • ✓ All 7 CCMA-ready documents
What it is
A cloud app that tracks employees, warnings, leave and minimum wage compliance, and generates the documents the CCMA will ask you for.
Purpose
Many employers who lose at the CCMA lose on procedure, not on the facts. The system tells you what the correct next step is.
Benefits
Warning expiry dates calculate themselves. Salaries are checked against the National Minimum Wage automatically. Documents generate in under a minute.
Why you need it
A verbal warning nobody wrote down does not exist. This makes the paperwork happen as a by-product of managing your staff.
"I already know how to discipline staff."
Many employers who lose at the CCMA did too. They lost because a warning had expired, a form was missing, or the process was not documented — not because they were wrong.
