The California legislature is currently considering the Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights (AB 889). According the Assembly Bill’s authors, there are 200,000 domestic workers in California that would be benefited by a clarification in the applicable employment laws. The CDWBR would guarantee overtime pay, meal and rest breaks and paid vacation for in-home care givers. The bill is pending passage in the Senate and would have to survive a veto by the Governor, however, the State of New York last year approved a similar bill and California is not likely to “stay behind.”
