Employers of domestic workers may use this timesheet template. Domestic workers work in private homes and are hired either directly by a family or through an agency. Domestic workers are nannies, childcare providers in private homes, homecare workers or attendants to people with disabilities or older adults, housecleaners, cooks and gardeners.

Under state law, someone who works in a private home and provides services such as supervising, dressing, or feeding older adults, a child or a person with a disability of any age, and who spends no more than 20% of their work week on general housekeeping duties, like cleaning, cooking, laundry, or making beds, is considered a “personal attendant.” A domestic worker is NOT considered a “personal attendant,” if they spend more than 20% of their time on general housekeeping duties, like cleaning, cooking, laundry, or making beds and less than 80% of their time doing caregiving tasks such as feeding, dressing, or supervision of a person.
