Only 50% of domestic workers in the Western Cape are registered for Unemployment Insurance, according to official statistics. GroundUp tested the system to find out why employers.
By law, employers must register all employees who work more than 24 hours a month with the Unemployment Insurance Fund.
But according to the most recently available Quarterly Labour Force Survey (from the last quarter of 2014), less than 50% of domestic workers in the Western Cape report being registered for Unemployment Insurance. And hardly any of the former domestic workers who were unemployed at the time of the survey reported receiving UI benefits.
