Worker Rights & Fair Wages

MatchMaid advocates for minimum and fair wages. We are a marketplace and do not process payments between families and maids.

Minimum Wage Basics

  • South Africa’s national minimum wage applies to domestic workers.
  • Hourly rates vary by year; always check the latest official rates.
  • Live-in roles should consider accommodation and meals fairly.

Good Practice

  • Pay on time and keep simple records.
  • Respectful working conditions and clear communication.
