The Labour Department says domestic workers will receive a pay increase in December.
Labour Minister, Mildred Oliphant, says in terms of the Domestic Sectoral Determination, an employee that works more than 27 hours in Area A should be paid not less than R11,44, while employees working less than 27 hours should be paid not less than R13,39.
An employee that works more than 27 hours in Area B should be paid a minimum of R10,23 per hour and an employee that works less than 27 hours should be paid not less than R 12, 07 per hour.
Sectoral determination covers the protection of workers in vulnerable sectors or areas of work, and sets minimum working hours, minimum wages, the number of leave days and termination rules.
