WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY ABOUT HOUSEMAIDS ?.

#legallyhers

Although Prossy was 16 years old, the lockdown taught her one thing quickly, hunger did not discriminate against age. So, she left the village and came to Kampala to work as a house maid in someone’s big house after the last maid ran away with ‘auntie’s phone. Even though she eats every day, and life is better, the aunty still ‘cuts’ her money whenever a plate or glass is broken in the house. Even if this is done by auntie’s children who are dozing in the morning as Prossy prepares them for school.

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY ABOUT HOUSE ‘HELPS’?

The employment law says that an employee is a person who agrees to carry out work for another person in return for receiving payment from that person. Therefore, as long as you have a house help (maid) who you pay to do work at home, and who works under your instructions for money, then this person is an employee.

The law also says that it is illegal to deduct the salary of an employee except for payments like taxes and NSSF and things they agreed to earlier like SACCO savings. If you only have less than 5 people working for you at home, then you do not have to pay NSSF.

WHAT ABOUT THE BROKEN GLASSES AND PLATES?

If you did not agree with your maid about what you would do about these, then deducting (cutting) their money amounts to an illegal deduction of their salary and you may be made to refund all that money if they report you to the district labour office. (This is the office where employment complaints are made).
