What happens if the domestic help quits?

If your employed domestic helper wants to resign, ask for a written notice of termination for your records. When giving notice, the agreed or statutory notice periods must be observed.

If you gave your domestic help keys or other materials at the beginning of the cleaning work, have them returned to you at the end of the work. Issue your domestic help with a certificate of employment. All information in the reference must be true, correct and complete. In any case, the reference must contain information about the duration and nature of the employment relationship.
