Please note that the Protect Our Workers, Enforce Rights (POWER) Act was signed into law on May 27, 2025, and took effect immediately.

We will be posting updates as they are finalized. Please refer to the text of the POWER Act for current information on the applicable laws that have been affected.
The Domestic Worker Bill of Rights requires employers of domestic workers to provide their employees with a contract, paid time off, and other protections. Domestic workers include nannies, house cleaners, caregivers, and others who provide services in the home.
Employers must provide employees with a written contract that outlines the minimum terms specified in the law. The written contract must be provided in English and the preferred language of the employee. A Domestic Worker Bill of Rights contract template is provided below in English, Spanish, and French. Contact our office to request additional languages.
