Thinking of Hiring a Babysitter in CA?
August 30, 2011
Think again. Writes The Union:
Under new legislation, “household ’employers’ (aka ‘parents’) who hire a babysitter on a Friday night will be legally obligated to pay at least minimum wage to any sitter over the age of 18 (unless it is a family member), provide a substitute caregiver every two hours to cover rest and meal breaks, in addition to workers’ compensation coverage, overtime pay, and a meticulously calculated timecard/paycheck.”
Read the rest. (Thanks to Bill Standley)
