Document background
The Caretaker Contract of Employment is essential for formalizing the employment relationship between property owners or managing entities and individuals responsible for property maintenance and security in South Africa. This document is typically used when hiring full-time or part-time caretakers for residential properties, commercial buildings, educational institutions, or other facilities requiring on-site maintenance and security personnel. The contract ensures compliance with South African labor legislation, including the Basic Conditions of Employment Act and Sectoral Determination 7, while addressing specific aspects of caretaking duties such as property maintenance, security measures, and accommodation arrangements where applicable. It provides a clear framework for employment terms, responsibilities, and obligations, protecting both employer and employee interests while maintaining legal compliance.
