Did you know, under the Seattle's Domestic Workers Ordinance (DWO):
• Domestic workers have the right to a 30-minute, uninterrupted meal period when they work for more than five consecutive hours for the same hiring entity.
• Domestic workers must be allowed a paid 10-minute uninterrupted rest break for each four consecutive hours of work for the same hiring entity.
• If a domestic worker's work responsibilities make it impossible or infeasible to take a meal period or rest break, the hiring entity must provide additional compensation for the missed meal period or rest break.

You can learn more about the DWO at:https://www.seattle.gov/labor.../ordinances/domestic-workers
