Domestic Workers Bill of Rights

The Domestic Workers Bill of Rights is a law that ensures fair treatment and basic protections for people who work in private homes, such as nannies, housekeepers, and caregivers. It typically guarantees fair wages, overtime pay, rest periods, and protections against discrimination or unfair dismissal. The law aims to recognize the valuable work these employees provide and to establish clear standards to promote their safety, dignity, and economic security, helping to close gaps in existing labor protections that often overlooked domestic workers.
