What you need to know about domestic worker contracts
As of January 2022, households in Chicago that employ house cleaners, nannies and caregivers must provide them a written contract.
Contracts between domestic workers and their employers are meant to create clear expectations for both parties. Information about wages and work schedules are the only requirement, though they can include more than that. A lawyer isn’t required to fill them out.
Reset covers what you need to know about these contracts, and how they can be helpful, for employees and employers.
