Hi I hope you can help me.I employed a domestic worker 2 times a week and we agreed on a rate and that I will give her taxi money per day. My first problem came when she wanted me to buy her a cell phone and pay me back. Well being the kind of person I am I complied and bought the R1300 phone. She promised to repay me monthly R100 or so. That happened once or twice and then she will make me feel lousy for taking it. I also used to buy her meat, groceries, clothes (brand new) for her grandchildren. Anyway then she just on the days she was supposed to come to work did not pitch. Last year August I told her it is better she stops working for me because clearly her priorities are with the other 2 people she works for. I even told her she can keep the cell phone and the money she owes me it is a gift from me.I left it like that and after two months she comes by the house crying again and I take her in. Again same old problem now she borrows up to R500 a time and always asks me to deduct end of the month, month end comes another story. Now this is what all my problem is about. I told her I am prepared to register her for uif and then she said no.I just feel that my side is clean I spoke to her but she did not want to listen to me and said "I will see".Now after the second time I had to let her go (I cannot afford it anymore) she went to Department of Labour and wants to put in a claim. What steps must I follow now because she was a casual worker and not permanent. Will I have to pay back uif for money which I paid to her penalties or what? Help I am totally stressed out on this.
