HOW WE WORK

The safe, professional way to hire help in Uganda.

We connect homes, hotels, schools and businesses with workers who are identity-verified, background-checked and trained — and we stand behind every placement. Here is exactly how it works, what “vetted” means, what it costs, and how we protect the people we place.

Who we are

Trusted Labour Plug is a vetted labour and recruitment platform based in Mbarara, serving households and businesses across western Uganda and beyond. We connect homes, hotels, schools and businesses with workers who are identity-verified, background-checked and trained — and we stand behind every placement. Put simply: we are building the safe, professional way to hire help in Uganda, and the fair way to work.

What we offer

For your home

Housemaids, nannies, cooks, cleaners and caregivers — live-in or day. Backed by our 90-day replacement guarantee.

For your business

On-demand casual labour — cleaners, porters, waiters, kitchen staff — by the day, week or month, fully managed.

Recruitment-as-a-service

We source, screen and shortlist skilled and semi-skilled staff so you hire the right person, with a replacement guarantee.

How it works

  1. 1You tell us what you need — online here, or by call / WhatsApp on +256 778 316 499.
  2. 2We match you with a vetted, trained worker who fits your home or business.
  3. 3We prepare clear, written agreements (see “Our agreements” below).
  4. 4The worker starts. For domestic placements, a short settling-in / trial period applies.
  5. 5We stay involved — aftercare check-ins, a welfare hotline, and the 90-day guarantee.

What “vetted” really means

Before any worker is placed with you, we:

  • Verify their National ID (NIN) and confirm they are 18 or older.
  • Check their references and background.
  • Put them through our training programme — conduct, hygiene, childcare, safety and communication.
  • Keep their documents on file: National ID, LC1 letter, recommendation, and academic certificates where relevant.

This is the difference between hiring a stranger and welcoming a trusted worker.

The 90-day guarantee

If a worker we place in your home leaves, is withdrawn, or proves unsuitable within ninety (90) days of starting, we provide one replacement at no further placement fee — provided you have met your side of the agreement. It is how confident we are in our vetting and training.

Fees & how payment works

Transparent, one-time fees for household placements. Business contracts are quoted per role and headcount.

ServiceFee
Standard domestic workerUGX 100,000 — one-time placement fee · 90-day guarantee
Trained nanny / childcareUGX 200,000 — first-aid certified
Business / recruitmentOn request — daily rate + margin, or a flat recruitment fee

How money flows: all payments are made to Trusted Labour Plug — never directly to the worker. You pay the placement fee once; the worker’s monthly salary is paid through us, so the worker is paid on time every month and you have one accountable partner.

  • We accept mobile money (MTN MoMo, Airtel Money), bank transfer, or cash at our office.
  • A receipt is issued for every payment.
  • The worker’s monthly salary starts from UGX 100,000/month depending on the role.

Worker welfare & our ethics

We protect the people we place — because protected workers do better work for you:

  • We pay workers on time, every month — they never chase an employer for their pay.
  • A welfare hotline (+256 778 316 499) is open to every worker, free of anyone’s permission.
  • No one may confiscate a worker’s phone, identity documents or pay — we treat it as a serious breach.
  • We source through LC1 chairpersons, churches and referrals — never taxi parks, bus stages or markets.
  • Zero tolerance for child labour — every worker is 18 or older, verified at registration.

Our agreements

Every placement is backed by clear, written agreements in plain language:

  • A Company–Client agreement — between Trusted Labour Plug and you.
  • A Company–Worker agreement — between Trusted Labour Plug and the worker.

Both set out duties, pay, the 90-day guarantee and welfare protections, so everyone knows where they stand.
