"Volunteers also hold sessions to inform workers that the new state law also requires their employers to provide a written agreement aimed at preventing wage theft. The written agreement should include pay rate and scheduling – something never before required of domestic employers.

With these efforts, the Connecticut Worker Center has become the connection for workers and their protections.

“When there is institutional, personal and organizational support at the same time, it’s [like] a triangle that complements everything that can be done in favor of a worker,” Jara said."

We love to see it CT 👏

“I've been an IHSS recipient for 5 years. Homecare is important to me because it helps me to stay in my home, and I just feel better, having help with things that I can't do. It's really important: getting to the doctor, just having care all around is very important. There are so many reasons my daughter deserves higher pay for what she does. The prices of everything today--gas to get over here--it adds up. For what my daughter does, it's definitely worth more than what she gets.” - Linda, IHSS recipient

Homecare workers, employers, and community members are coming together to win a $20 minimum wage for homecare workers in California. Attend in-person or call-in to the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors meeting TOMORROW, 9/27 at 9am and make a public comment to make sure they know that they must raise wages for IHSS providers and address the homecare crisis! It is Time for $20!

Join us in demanding higher wages for IHSS home care providers in California by signing our petition: https://secure.everyaction.com/myDiyRYQX0q3CeYYOLd…

There's still time to join our NYC Chapter THIS Wednesday, September 28th at 8 PM EST, and learn how to create or amend a work agreement when you hire a nanny, house cleaner and/or a home attendant!

Back to School season is in full swing and for many of this may mean a shift in childcare, or perhaps a new journey into childcare.
One of the most difficult tasks when embarking on the domestic employer journey is drafting a work agreement! Having a work agreement ensures you and the person you employ have a clear and mutual understanding of the legal obligations under the NYC and New York State laws, and the responsibilities that are expected of the job.

We will cover the process of how to create a work agreement in detail, and will be joined by employers and workers who will share their tips and experiences. We’ll discuss:
• The structure of a work agreement
• Tactics to ensure mutual understanding
• Legal obligations and job expectations

This is a FREE webinar for domestic employers, workers and people who plan to employ a worker at home in NYC (but all are welcome!).
