New York State Domestic Workers Bill of Rights

The New York State Domestic Workers Bill of Rights is a law that protects the rights of domestic workers—such as nannies, housekeepers, and caregivers. It ensures they receive fair wages, at least the minimum wage, and protections against unpaid overtime, regardless of their hours. The law also grants them the right to daily and weekly rest periods, paid time off for illness, and a clear, written employment agreement. Additionally, it provides protections from harassment and discrimination, and gives workers the right to organize and advocate for their rights without fear of retaliation.
