Agency Fees

The agency fee is dependent on the type of placement:  

1.        Permanent Placement – Fee

A permanent placements fee of 12% (excl. VAT) of the governesses total annual remuneration, payable on delivery of invoice 

Example: Monthly salary of R 3000.00 + R 500.00 petrol/travel allowance = monthly remuneration of R 3 500.00. 

R 3 500.00 x 12 months                           = R 42 000 total annual remuneration

R 42 000 x 12% ( placement fee )             = R 5 040.00

R 5 040.00 x 14% (VAT)                           = R   705.60

Total Agency Fee                                  = R 5 745.60 

2.        Semi-Permanent Placement – Fee

For a placement deemed to be “temporary” with a beginning and ending date for seven days / nights or longer, our fee is 30% of the negotiated rate paid to the governess. This type of placemen requires payment in advance of the placement start date. 

3.        Temporary Placement Fee

We are also able to provide Temporary staff (one to six days) for a few hours per day, or on a daily or overnight basis (Temporary Live-in) for one to six days / nights. The current minimum daytime rate is R68.40/hour (R60+VAT), or R319.20 (R280+VAT) per night. (Daytime hours depend on the duties, number of hours required, etc.) This rate must be paid directly to the agency. The agency will then pay the governess on completion of the assignment.

We are a VAT registered entity – our VAT number is 4060176205
