Contract, their app, your payslips

Au Pair Setup Bundle

Everything the start of an au pair job needs: a BCEA contract ready to sign, the app they log their hours in so the month-end claim is already right, and your side of it — payslips with the UIF worked out, every claim kept, and the shared schedule.

What's included

  • Employer Compliance Checklist — UIF, COIDA, minimum wage and leave, in the order each one falls due
  • Au Pair Employment Contract — 29 clauses, referencing the BCEA section by section
  • Annexure A — Weekly Work Schedule and Duties, including the duties table that stops job creep
  • Annexure B — Rate and Payment Sheet: overtime, Sunday and public-holiday rates, and kilometres
  • Signature and Acceptance Page
  • Records and Payslips — what the BCEA makes you keep and hand over, with a blank monthly sheet
  • Every document as an editable Word file and a PDF — 12 files in all
  • Plus a NannyTank licence for your au pair — no subscription, no card; it runs while they work for you
  • Plus the employer view for you — payslips with the UIF worked out, every claim kept, the shared schedule and the children’s day

Who it's for

  • You have just hired someone and nothing is written down yet.
  • You know you are now an employer and are not certain what that actually requires.
  • You would rather the month-end number arrived correct than work it out yourself.

If they leave

Their licence runs while they are working for you — you are paying for it, and it covers the job you are paying for. When they move on, it stops.

Your side stays yours forever; you never buy that again. It was never attached to a particular au pair. A licence for a new au pair is R399 rather than the full price — the same whether you need it next month or in three years, so nobody is charged more for a resignation they did not choose. You set them up from inside the app in one step.

What they keep is their record: their account, every month they logged, and the spreadsheet, permanently. That is deliberate. A record that died when you stopped paying would not be theirs — and if it is not theirs, they have no reason to keep it accurate, which is the whole point of you paying for it. Ending a licence hands you nothing of theirs.

R1299

12 files — every document as an editable Word file and a PDF. Paid once, yours to keep. No account, no subscription.

Written for South African placements, and sold there only.

Optional — so we can send them the code directly.

We email them the code and say it came from you. They sign up themselves, and the record stays theirs — you see nothing of their day unless they choose to connect you.

Secure card payment via Paystack. Your files arrive by email within a minute.

Now keep the record

The paperwork sets the expectations. NannyTank shows they were met — your au pair logs their hours, overtime and kilometres as they happen, and you approve the month in one tap.
