Domestic Workers Bill of Rights Act

This bill establishes comprehensive labor protections for domestic workers, including house cleaners, nannies, personal care aides, and other employees working in private homes. It directly affects approximately 2.2 million domestic workers, predominantly women of color and immigrants who have historically been excluded from key labor protections. Key provisions include requiring written employment agreements outlining wages and hours, providing earned sick days for health and safety needs, establishing fair scheduling practices with advance notice requirements, protecting privacy rights, and prohibiting unfair wage deductions. The bill also extends civil rights protections under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act to domestic workers and creates a Domestic Employee Standards Board to recommend workplace standards.
