SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Nannies, house cleaners, gardeners and other San Francisco domestic workers must be given paid sick leave under a groundbreaking law approved by city leaders this week.
The city’s Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously passed the legislation, which the San Francisco Chronicle said is the first of its kind in the U.S.
The measure would affect 10,000 people in the city who work in private homes cleaning, cooking, tending children, garden or providing non-medical care for seniors or disabled residents.
Supporters of law said that workforce is typically low-paid with many women and immigrants.
“I think these people have been taking care of people in San Francisco for a long time, and it’s about time we care for them,” said Supervisor Myrna Melgar, who co-sponsored the measure with Supervisor Hillary Ronen.
The measure addresses the fact that many domestic workers may work for multiple households, the Chronicle said.
It creates a a portable paid sick leave benefit, so workers would earn slivers of paid sick leave from each employer and then consolidate them. An employer would pay one hour of wages into the sick leave fund for every 30 hours of service from a domestic worker.

Creating another reason to pay under the table wages. They just can’t help themselves.
And a lot of housekeepers and Gardners have several clients that they provide services once or twice a week. Or did California outlaw such a thing?
NY has made it so no nanny, gardener, tree-trimmer, plumber, or anything else can work as a contract-hire.
They all have to have corporations or LLCs, for insurance, for liability, for regulation, for FICA, etc...
Hire their company, not the person.

***Why didn’t they just do that with obambamcare?
Gardeners will get the boot before the young, hot nannies will.

What’s this BS “crap wages” argument I’m reading?
