One household, from first contract to a lawful goodbye
Michelle asked for fair wages for her domestic worker. Three months later the same chat had produced a signed contract, a corrected underpayment, and a retrenchment done properly.
Reviews & press
Real households. Real coverage.
“AskMandla made the admin of being compliant so easy! Any information that I need about my employment relationship at my fingertips.”
Lizl · employer, Western Cape
“Before AskMandla, I was constantly worried about whether I was following all the rules. Now everything, from contracts to UIF, is taken care of. I can focus on my family, knowing my employee is protected and paid on time.”
Jenny · employer, Eastern Cape
“AskMandla makes me feel valued. My payslip comes via WhatsApp, I know exactly how many leave days I have left, and it gives me peace of mind knowing I’m being paid correctly and fairly.”
Zethu · domestic worker, KwaZulu-Natal
“I am amazed by the ease and simplicity that AskMandla brought to my administrative burden! I have referred them to everyone I know!”
Wouter · employer & creator, WaarsWouter
“Well done! You guys have made it so easy, honestly I think the process overwhelms people which is why we are non compliant.”
Daniella · employer, Gauteng
“It really was very easy to onboard and simple to understand. I wasn’t sure if WhatsApp would work for something like this, but it has. I feel like I have someone on my side, making sure everything is above board.”
Lee-Ann · employer, Gauteng
“The payslip and registering for UIF can be so confusing. What stood out with AskMandla was the simple registration process, and such helpful staff. Of course I would recommend you to a friend. You are brilliant!”
Carolyn · employer, KwaZulu-Natal
“The quick response on WhatsApp chat, and the team just being knowledgeable and so willing to help. Would I recommend them? Oh absolutely, 100%!”
Michelle · employer, Gauteng
Customer case studies
Six real accounts, from first message to the end.
A quote is short. These are the whole arc, taken from the customers’ own WhatsApp threads, delays and disagreements included.
She knew the rules and still could not comply
Lee-Ann was not confused about the law and not unwilling to follow it. Two weeks later she had two workers on formal contracts. Her own words explain why she could not do it alone.
Her worker had no smartphone, and it still got done
No smartphone, no street address, limited English, and about 15 years of undocumented service. Seven weeks instead of ten minutes.
The household that told us our contract did not fit
Three workers, and one contract she stopped mid-signature because the standard terms did not describe her arrangement. She was right.
When a new hire did not work out in the first month
The arrangement ended inside a month. It still ended with notice paid, a final wage and a record, which is not what usually happens.
Drawing wages she had already earned, before payday
A worker’s side of it. Five draws over three months, what she was quoted each time, and the two times we said no.
