    Domestic workers in Grahamstown must now be paid an hourly rate of R10.95, or R476,68 a week and R2065,47 monthly for working more than an average of four days a week (27 hours).

    The adjusted domestic workers wages have been announced by the Minister of Labour Mildred Nelisiwe Oliphant this week. Makana Municipality falls under the urban – rural section area A.

    "The new sectoral determination of domestic workers starting from 1 December 2014 to 30 November 2015 prescribes the minimum wages for domestic workers who work more than 27 ordinary hours per week or less," Department of Labour spokesperson Mokgadi Pela said in a statement.

    The calculations below compare last years wages with the new adjusted ones and reflect by how much the wages have been increased. They show that domestic worker minimum wages have been raised by 10% to 14% for next year. 

    Rates New (2014)  Previous ( 2013) Difference % difference
    Hourly R 10.95 R 9.63 R1.32 13.71%
    Weekly  R 476.68 R 433.35 R43.33 10.00%
    Monthly R 2065.47 R 1877.7  R187.77 10.00%

     

    The wage rates for employees working 27 hours or less are as follows:

    Hourly  R 10.98
    Weekly   R 296.35
    Monthly   R 1 284,89
