HB4714 - Domestic Workers' Bill of Rights Act

• Creates comprehensive labor protections for domestic workers (housekeeping, childcare, elder care, etc.) by requiring employers to provide written notice of employment terms and written contracts for regular work.

• Mandates minimum workplace standards including 8 consecutive hours of uninterrupted sleep for 24-hour workers, 30-minute meal breaks for shifts over 5 hours, 10-minute rest periods per 4 hours worked, and prohibition on bed-sharing.

• Requires paid time off accrual at 1 hour per 30 hours worked (maximum 80 hours annually), with domestic workers controlling when and how accrued time is used; prohibits use of paid time off as negative factor in employment decisions.

• Establishes enforcement through Department of Labor complaints or civil court actions, with remedies including actual damages, compensatory damages, liquidated damages up to $3,000 per violation, attorney's fees, and expert witness costs.

• Amends existing labor laws to extend minimum wage, overtime, and one-day-rest-in-seven protections to domestic workers while removing previous exemptions for domestic service employment.
