Pay, payslips, UIF and loans — across every employer, in one place. You stay compliant and never get it wrong; your worker gets the dignity of fair pay, real payslips and visibility. No one else in South Africa does both sides.

Every figure dated & cited from SA legislation. A compliance tool, not legal advice.
That comes with real legal duties, and most people don't find out until something goes wrong. Dignita turns the confusing parts into a few simple steps.
Employ someone in your home for more than 24 hours a month and the law treats you as their employer — with all the duties that come with it. A cleaning marketplace or an agency doesn't carry that for you.
No contract, no payslips, unpaid UIF, the wrong leave or a botched termination can mean CCMA cases, Department of Labour penalties and back-pay. The risk sits with you, not your worker.
BCEA, the National Minimum Wage Act, UIF, COIDA, leave rules, notice and severance — scattered across acts that change every year. Most households simply guess, and hope.
Dignita is a compliance tool, not legal advice — but every figure it uses is sourced from current South African legislation and dated.
No spreadsheets, no labour-law degree. Start free in minutes — most people have a contract and first payslip before they finish their coffee.
Tell us who you employ, their hours and pay. We check it against the minimum wage as you type — so you never underpay by accident.
Get a compliant BCEA contract and monthly payslips with the right UIF — as proper PDFs, ready for an inspection or a dispute.
Reminders for UIF, COIDA, leave and the annual increase mean nothing lapses. The law changes once a year; the app keeps up so you don't have to.
Once they consent, your worker sees their pay, payslips, UIF and loans across every employer — real visibility, not a chat history.
Three things at once: the only two-sided worker portal in South Africa, the peace of mind of always getting compliance right, and the dignity of treating your worker properly.
Dignita is the only SA platform where the worker logs in too — and sees every employer in one place. No one else does both sides.
Every legal figure is dated and cited — minimum wage R 30,23/hour, UIF 1% + 1% capped at R 17 712,00/month. When the law changes, the whole app updates.
Compliance is the floor; dignity is the point. Fair pay, real payslips and full visibility turn an informal arrangement into a relationship you can both be proud of.
Every other SA tool serves the employer only and charges per employee. With Dignita the worker logs in too, and R 49,00/month covers a nanny, gardener and cleaner — all on one household plan.
The contrast
Dignita works in any phone browser — nothing to install — and your worker gets a real portal, not a chat history. No per-employee fees, and your records persist and export whenever you need them.
Dignita vs AskMandla →uFiling is UIF only. You still need a compliant contract, payslips, COIDA, leave tracking and correct termination pay. Dignita does all of it, correctly, on one flat plan.
Dignita vs doing it yourself →Cheaper tools are employer-only and email your worker a PDF at best. Dignita adds the two-sided worker portal, attendance and loans — and the flat per-household price covers every worker.
Dignita vs LekkerLedger →You keep control and your records, pay one flat price (not R155–R165 per employee), and your worker gets visibility a managed service simply can't give them. Plus the numbers are current — NMW R 30,23/hour from 1 March 2026.
Compare all your options →Competitor pricing is time-sensitive and framed fairly — verify current figures on each provider's own site before deciding.
Minimum wage R 30,23/hour from 1 March 2026, UIF 1% + 1% (capped at R 17 712,00/month) — each one carries an effective date and a citation to BCEA, the NMW Act, UIF Act or COIDA.
Rates change on 1 March each year. When the law changes, the whole app updates — your contracts, payslips and calculators stay current automatically.
Your worker only sees their data after they consent. Everything is POPIA-compliant by design, and you both own and can export your records.
