Why traditional systems do not work
Domestic employers must keep time records
Employment law applies equally to domestic workers. The authorities are actively checking compliance.
Variable schedules: a few hours, alternate days
Domestic workers rarely have a fixed schedule. Clock-in must be just as flexible.
Hard to prove hours in a dispute
Without records, in a tribunal dispute the employer almost always loses. A WhatsApp log is solid evidence.
