How billing works: salary + subscription + fees
One monthly payment. No confusion. No hidden costs.
💳 What does the employer pay?
Each month, AskMandla sends you a single invoice that includes:
-
Your employee’s full salary (as agreed in the contract)
-
UIF and other deductions (if applicable)
-
AskMandla’s monthly subscription fee
-
Any card or payment gateway fees (only if you choose to pay by card)
📅 When do I pay?
You’ll receive your monthly invoice near the start of the month, before payday.
You’ll then make one easy payment:
-
By EFT (no extra fees)
-
Or by card (gateway fees apply)
We’ll confirm once payment is received.

💰 Example: Monthly Billing Breakdown
Let’s say your domestic worker earns R3,500/month.
Item | Amount |
---|---|
Employee salary | R3,500 |
Employer UIF (1%) | R35 |
AskMandla subscription | R49 |
Total Invoice (EFT) | R3,584 |
Card Payment (optional) | 2% - 3.5% gateway fee (depending on card used) |
📌 You only pay once. We take care of everything else.
🔐 Is payment secure?
Yes. We work with trusted payment partners who are registered with the Payments Association of South Africa (PASA) and use encrypted payment gateways. EFT is always an option if you prefer.
🚫 What happens if I don’t pay?
If payment isn’t received:
-
Your employee won’t receive their salary
-
Their payslip and UIF will not be processed
-
Your AskMandla subscription may be paused
We’ll always send reminders but your payment must reflect per the due date of the invoice.
📲 Where do I get my invoice?
We send it to you via WhatsApp and Email. You can also request a copy at any time.
