Domestic Worker Bill of Rights resources

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.

If you believe you have experienced a violation of this law, you can report a Domestic Worker Bill of Rights violation.

Employers can contact the Office of Worker Protections at the Department of Labor for compliance assistance. For more information, email domesticwork@phila.gov or call (215) 686-0802.
