Same-day +25%, weekends +15%, public holidays double time. Travel R85 per worker beyond 20 km. Molecules employs the locum, pays them well above the minimum wage and pays their UIF and COIDA. A locum who stays with you longer than 3 months converts to a direct hire at the placement fee.

What the law asks of you
Households employing domestic workers, nannies, carers and gardeners
National Minimum Wage
Domestic workers are entitled to the full National Minimum Wage: R30.23 per hour from 1 March 2026 (about R5,895 a month for 45 hours a week). We will not list a job below it.
Written particulars / contract
Sectoral Determination 7 (Domestic Worker Sector) and the BCEA require written particulars of employment: duties, hours, pay, leave and notice. We give you a template.
Working hours, overtime and leave
Max 45 ordinary hours a week; overtime at 1.5x; annual leave of 3 weeks; sick leave; family responsibility leave; Sunday and public holiday pay rules apply (BCEA).
UIF
Register with the Unemployment Insurance Fund if the worker works more than 24 hours a month; deduct 1% and contribute 1% every month (uFiling).
COIDA
Domestic workers are covered by COIDA (Mahlangu judgment, 2020; COIDA amendment in force 23 January 2026): register with the Compensation Fund and pay the annual assessment.
Deductions and accommodation
Only lawful deductions; live-in accommodation deductions are limited by Sectoral Determination 7.
Never charge the worker
No fee may be charged to, or deducted from the wages of, a person placed through Molecules (Employment Services Act s15). Never keep a worker's ID or documents.
Privacy
Use the worker's personal information only for the job. Background-check results stay confidential (POPIA).
Cleaning companies and businesses
Minimum wage
Contract-cleaning businesses: the contract-cleaning sector minimum of R33.27 per hour applies in its scope (Area A metros, including Gauteng and Midrand); elsewhere and for other businesses at least the National Minimum Wage of R30.23 per hour. We will not list a job below the applicable minimum.
Written particulars / contract
BCEA s29 written particulars: duties, hours, pay, leave and notice. Contract-cleaning employers also follow their sector's conditions (shift length, transport allowances where applicable).
Working hours, overtime and leave
Max 45 ordinary hours a week; overtime at 1.5x; annual leave of 3 weeks; sick leave; family responsibility leave; Sunday and public holiday pay rules apply (BCEA).
UIF
Register with the Unemployment Insurance Fund if the worker works more than 24 hours a month; deduct 1% and contribute 1% every month (uFiling).
COIDA

Never charge the worker
No fee may be charged to, or deducted from the wages of, a person placed through Molecules (Employment Services Act s15). Never keep a worker's ID or documents.
Privacy
Use the worker's personal information only for the job. Background-check results stay confidential (POPIA).

Work-seekers never pay
Free for work-seekers. You never pay Molecules to register, upload your CV, be verified, get a badge, be matched or be placed in a job. Employers pay us. (Employment Services Act 4 of 2014, section 15.)
Training is optional and separate. Molecules Academy courses can help you earn more, and we look for sponsors, employers and skills-development funding to pay for them, but you never need a course to be listed, matched or placed.
