    Product Description

    The Massachusetts new Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights went into full effect on April 1, 2015, creating significant new workplace protections for individuals employed in homes. The law also establishes substantial new responsibilities for employers of domestic workers. Homeowners who were previously exempted from many employment regulations are now required to comply with wage and workplace rules when hiring employees, including domestic child care workers, such as nannies and au pairs, as well as home health aides, companions, and house cleaners. The law does not, however, cover workers hired by professional agencies that are licensed and registered, or an individual to whom a personal care attendant provides services under the MassHealth program.

    Whether you practice employment law—or simply employ a nanny or house cleaner at home—this new program is a must! Get direct access to the expert panelists in a highly-focused, small-classroom setting—and bring your questions to customize the discussion.

    Learn the questions you should be asking in your practice—and at home!
