Good to know
Do I have to register my domestic worker for UIF?+
Yes — if they work more than 24 hours a month. The contract records the 1% + 1% contributions.
Is a domestic worker covered for injuries?+
Yes. Domestic workers are covered by COIDA, so employers must register with the Compensation Fund.
Is this legal advice?+
No. It's a professionally structured starting point. For high-value or unusual deals, have an attorney review your completed document.
