Plan the full cost of hiring domestic staff
Budget separately for the worker's salary, the agency placement fee and any agreed practical costs. A clear first-month calculation helps you compare arrangements without confusing salary with commission.

Start with the actual role
Ask for a current salary discussion based on duties, hours, experience, city and living arrangement. A broad job title is not enough to compare two requests. List essential skills and substantial additional tasks before discussing a figure. Avoid treating an example budget as a confirmed quote for your own household.
Separate one-time and recurring costs
Staffly's standard monthly placement fee equals one agreed monthly salary and is charged once when you confirm the hire. Salary is paid separately, with no recurring monthly agency commission. For illustration only, if an agreed salary were PKR 40,000, one full month's salary plus the matching placement fee would total PKR 80,000 before other agreed costs. This is arithmetic, not a salary recommendation.
Record practical expenses explicitly
Discuss any accommodation, meals, travel reimbursement, uniforms or equipment that apply to the arrangement. Specify who supplies items and who approves purchases. Do not assume every expense is included in salary or the placement fee. Where the first month is partial, agree the salary calculation with the worker rather than leaving the pay date unclear.
Check the written terms before confirming
Ask when the placement fee becomes payable and how six-month replacement support works under the written conditions. Replacement support should not be interpreted as an unrestricted refund promise. Keep the agreed salary, duties and payment records together. If the role changes, review the budget and terms before adding recurring work.
A practical example to adapt
Use a simple budget sheet with four lines: recurring salary, one-time placement fee, agreed recurring practical costs and initial supplies. Mark which figures are confirmed and which are estimates. Record who approved each expense and when it is due. If two staff members are needed, calculate each role separately. This makes the first month's cash requirement visible without turning an illustrative salary figure into a claim about what every candidate will accept.
