The holiday season is here! It's a time when many of us are looking for ways to show appreciation and gratitude.

If you privately employ a nanny, housecleaner, or home attendant now is the time to give a year end bonus, to show appreciation for their dedicated work throughout the year. An average bonus is usually one to two weeks' pay, although you can choose to give more.

The end of the year is also an opportunity to provide a Cost of Living Adjustment Raise (COLA) raise. This year, alongside our partners at the National Domestic Workers Alliance, we are recommending a 3-5% raise to account for inflation and the rising cost of necessities like food, gas and other essentials. If you did not provide a COLA raise last year, we suggest you provide 5% or more.

Check out our 2024 Guide to: Raises and a Holiday Bonus for domestic employers slides below for more, and find our complete guide here: domesticemployers.org/resource/guide-to-end-of-year-bonuses/?utm_medium=social&utm_source=faceboo...

“No one is prepared to become a caregiver, but at some point, we will either be a caregiver or we will need to be cared for. In a country without a federal paid leave program, caregivers like me have to decide if we go to work or stay home and take care of ourselves or a family member.

The time for a federal paid leave program is now, so we can all care for our families without losing employment and income.” - Erica Clemons Dean, Family Values at Work

We all need care at some point in our lives. We need to invest in care. We need #PaidLeaveForAll. The election may be over, but the fight and the work continues ✊
