Summary

The Domestic Worker Bill of Rights prohibits a domestic work employee, as defined, who is a personal attendant, as defined, from being employed more than 9 hours in any workday or more than 45 hours in any workweek, unless the employee receives 1.5 times the employee's regular rate of pay for all hours worked over 9 hours in any workday and for all hours worked more than 45 hours in the workweek. This bill would authorize a domestic work employee who is a live-in employee or who is required to be on duty for 24 or more consecutive hours to enter into a written agreement with the domestic work employer to exclude from hours worked a bona fide regularly scheduled sleeping period of not more than 8 hours for uninterrupted sleep, if specified conditions are met. If the sleeping period is interrupted by an emergency, only time spent working during the emergency would constitute hours worked. Absent a written agreement, the 8 hours available for sleep would constitute hours worked.
