Premier New York City Employment Attorneys Preserve Employee Rights for Nannies & Housekeepers

Equal employment rights for home care employees

Nannies and housekeepers become part of the families they work for, caring for precious children. Unfortunately, the families that rely on home aid workers do not always treat them with the respect and compensation they deserve. Our New York City employee rights attorneys at Hepworth, Gershbaum & Roth, PLLC help nannies and housekeepers receive the rightful compensation they have earned. Our attorneys are committed to helping home care workers find justice.

Common employment law violations for nannies and housekeepers in New York

There are two main components to the FLSA. The first part establishes a national minimum wage. Our employment law attorneys do not see as many of these claims because New York currently has a minimum wage that is higher than the federal minimum.

There is a major misconception that nannies and housekeepers are entitled to different employee rights protection than other types of employees. Our employee rights attorneys in New York have noticed some common and disturbing abuses that families commit upon their home aid workers. These abuses are often the result of the home care workers not knowing about their rights and being afraid to take action when they find out that they have not been paid the wages they are entitled to.

Our nanny and housekeeper rights attorneys can help you receive compensation if:

• You have not been paid for every hour you have worked

• You are paid less than the state and federal minimum wage

• You are not paid regularly

• You do not receive applicable workers’ compensation required by New York law

• You work in an abusive environment

• Your employer has confiscated your passport or any other type of identification

• Your employer threatens retaliation by reporting to immigration

• Your employer does not give you a W-2 for your tax records

• Your employer does not withhold payroll deductions
