Nannies Score in Albany: Bill Awards Overtime, Other Rights
(WSJ) — There’s good news for New York’s 200,000 nannies. A reconciliation deal between state lawmakers and Gov. David Paterson will award new rights to domestic workers, making New York the first state in the U.S. to protect household employees.
The compromise legislation, which is expected to face final votes by Thurdsay, sets a 40-hour week for normal domestic workers and a 45-hour week for live-in workers, as well as one day off each week. Any overtime beyond the weekly limits and or work scheduled for a day off must be paid at time-and-a-half.
