Being in the business of supplying work to domestic workers for the last twenty-plus years, I and my personal assistant thought it well to bring out an easy, understandable guide regarding employing a domestic worker and being employed as a domestic worker.Our offices are in Centurion, and we receive calls daily for assistance regarding many issues around domestic workers all over South Africa.Many domestic workers also visit our offices with requests regarding their work in a certain household as well as their rights in the workplace.Both of us do have an interest in the book and how the book will be put in order so that it will be an easy, understandable guide to the employer/employee and uphold both parties rights.We also have a training center for domestic workers and use our experience in this field in the book as well-for example, communication gap, how to clean a house, laundry, how to make a menu, etc.We want to dedicate this book to all domestic workers all over South Africa as recognition for the great work they do!
