Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights
Nassau County NY enacted a new law that requires requires employment and referral agencies that place nannies, housekeepers and other domestics in private homes to give them a written "bill of rights." This document is to articulate the agreed pay, hours and other basic conditions of the jobs- in English, Spanish and Creole. The agencies must also provide their clients, the employers, a statement of their obligations.
This legislation will go into effect in six months.
Reputable agencies for many years have strongly encouraged written work agreements between the household workers and the employers. HomeWork Solutions has sample documents available at it's website, 4nannytaxes.com.
