How We Make Doing the Right AND Legal Thing Simple
At Simply People, we take the guesswork, admin, and stress out of employing a domestic worker. Whether you’re hiring for the first time or looking to make things legal and compliant, we’re here to support you with care, simplicity, and expertise.
We understand that your home is personal—and so is the relationship you have with the person who helps care for it. That’s why our services are designed to protect everyone involved, making sure your domestic worker is employed fairly and legally, and giving you the peace of mind that you’re doing everything right.
Services That Care for You—While You Care for Your Home
At Simply People, we take the admin, legal stress, and “where do I even start?” out of employing a domestic worker. Our services are designed to support you at every step—from contracts and payroll to leave tracking, UIF, and expert HR guidance.
Because when you’re supported, you can support others better. And doing the right thing should feel simple, not stressful.
Here’s how we make it all easier:
Legally Compliant Contracts
Let’s be honest—reading labour law is not anyone’s idea of a good time. We create professionally drafted, legally sound contracts that are tailored to domestic workers and easy to understand. No confusing jargon, just clear terms that protect both of you. It’s paperwork that actually brings peace of mind, not papercuts.
Monthly Payroll & Payslips
No more last-minute Excel spreadsheets or guessing what to pay! We calculate earnings, deductions (like UIF), and overtime, then send you neat, ready-to-print payslips every month. All you have to do is pay on time—we’ll handle the maths (even the pesky cents). It’s like having your own payroll department… without needing a second fridge for snacks.
Leave Tracking Made Simple
Is it sick leave? Family responsibility leave? Just-a-cold-but-I’m-not-sure leave? Don’t worry—we keep track of it all. From annual to maternity leave, we help you stay legal and fair while keeping things clear for your employee. No more counting days on your kitchen calendar or WhatsApp threads from 2022.
UIF Registration & Monthly Declarations
Navigating the Department of Labour website is basically an extreme sport. We’ll register your worker for UIF, submit monthly declarations, and make sure everything is paid and up to date. No queues, no chaos, and no spending 40 minutes on hold with someone who puts you through to… no one.
COID Registration & Return of Earnings
If your domestic worker gets injured on the job, they need to be covered—and you need to be compliant. We register you with the Compensation Fund and submit the Return of Earnings each year. It’s one of those things you hope you’ll never need, but will be really glad you have (like a generator in loadshedding).
HR Support
Got an awkward situation brewing? Need advice on conflict, warnings, or just want to check if something is legal? Our HR experts are on standby from 08h30 – 17h00, Monday to Friday, to help you handle it with calm and confidence. Because Googling “how to fire someone nicely in South Africa” at midnight is not the answer.
