An app would let domestic workers accrue pay they’re owed — but in practice rarely get — to take sick days or care for loved ones.
House cleaners and nannies in San Francisco already have the right to paid sick leave — but now officials want to make it easier for them to actually get that paid time off.on Tuesday that would allow domestic workers who work for private employers to accrue sick leave benefits, even if they work in chunks of a few hours at a time for several different employers.
Under current law, domestic workers are technically supposed to get one hour of sick leave for every 30 hours they work, but “it almost never happens,” Ronen said at aPrivately employed house cleaners and nannies often work a few hours a week or month for several different employers, many of whom don’t know that they owe their workers sick leave pay.
This proposed law, written by domestic workers with legislative staff, would be the first of its kind in the country, Ronen’s team said.“House cleaners who care for our homes, and nannies and caregivers who care for our loved ones, need access to paid time off in case they get sick, need to take care of their sick child or loved one, or need to just take a day to rest.
