The contract must be in the employee&#8217;s language and include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>job duties<\/li>\n<li>wages (including overtime)<\/li>\n<li>work schedule<\/li>\n<li>payment frequency<\/li>\n<li>breaks<\/li>\n<li>sleeping periods<\/li>\n<li>leave<\/li>\n<li>paid holidays<\/li>\n<li>transportation and housing details (if applicable)<\/li>\n<li>term of contract<\/li>\n<li>other agreed terms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The law also prohibits domestic worker employment contracts from including provisions that waive legal protections under federal, state, or local laws; mandating pre-dispute arbitration agreements; or containing non-disclosure, non-competition, or non-disparagement agreements.<\/p>\n<p>Employers must also notify employees of their rights under the Domestic Workers\u2019 Bill of Rights.<\/p>\n<h3>Meal and rest breaks<\/h3>\n<p>Household employees are now required to receive:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>At least one paid 10-minute break for every four consecutive hours of work unless the nature of the work prevents the domestic worker from being relieved from work for such period due to the nature of their job duties, which may include child care or care of the infirm, elderly, or disabled.<\/li>\n<li>A 30-minute lunch break after working more than five consecutive hours, unless the nature of the work precludes such breaks. Employees are considered on duty during this meal period. That means the meal period is compensable and should be part of overtime calculations unless they are relieved of all work duties and allowed to leave the work site.<\/li>\n<li>An unpaid day off after six days of work for live-in employees<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Wage\u00a0protections<\/h3>\n<p>While most household employees are already entitled to minimum wage and overtime, this new law removes the exclusion for part-time babysitters working in the employer\u2019s home. New Jersey\u2019s minimum wage is $15.23\/hour for employers with fewer than six workers.<\/p>\n<h3>Termination\u00a0notice<\/h3>\n<p>Employers must give at least two weeks\u2019 notice before terminating a household employee and four weeks for a live-in employee, with exceptions for employee misconduct.<\/p>\n<h3>Other rights and protections<\/h3>\n<p>Household employees also gained privacy rights and protections against harassment and retaliation.

Household employees can accrue up to 40 hours of paid sick leave at one hour for every 30 hours worked. While unused sick time must carry over to the following year, it can be capped at 40 hours. An employer can also offer to pay employees for their unused sick time at the end of the year. However, unused sick time earned but not used doesn\u2019t need to be paid upon separation from employment. Employees start accruing paid leave 120 days after being hired. The law covers all full-time, part-time, and temporary employees.<\/p>\n<p>Paid sick leave can be used for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Diagnosis, care, treatment of, or recovery from the employee\u2019s own mental or physical illness, injury, or condition, including preventive care<\/li>\n<li>Caring for a family member during the diagnosis, care, treatment of, or recovery from a mental or physical illness, injury, or condition, including preventive care<\/li>\n<li>Time needed because the employee or family member is a victim of domestic or sexual violence.

There are some exceptions to this notification rule, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If the worker committed significant misconduct, like abuse or neglect.<\/li>\n<li>If the domestic worker is employed by an individual, not an agency, and that individual no longer needs the services.

Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/agencies\/whd\/flsa\/misclassification\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">misclassifying employees as independent contractors<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Household workers are also non-exempt employees, meaning they receive at least time-and-a-half for hours worked over 40 per workweek. Learn more about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dol.gov\/whd\/overtime_pay.htm\">overtime pay<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>FICA Taxes<\/h3>\n<p>Social Security and Medicare taxes are commonly referred to as FICA taxes.<\/p>\n<p>If you pay cash wages of $3,000 or more to any household employee in 2026 (or paid a domestic worker $2,800 or more in 2025), you must withhold and pay FICA taxes. FICA taxes are 15.3 percent of cash wages.<\/p>\n<p>As an employer, you pay 7.65 percent (6.2 percent for Social Security and 1.45 percent for Medicare).<\/p>\n<p>Your employee&#8217;s share is also 7.65 percent, which you may withhold from their wages or pay yourself.<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t withhold or owe FICA taxes on wages you pay to your spouse, child under the age of 21, parent, or any employee under 18 at any time during the calendar year.<\/p>\n<h3>Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA)<\/h3>\n<p>If you pay a household employee total cash wages of $1,000 or more in any calendar quarter, you&#8217;ll owe federal unemployment tax. This is an employer-only tax. FUTA is 6% of cash wages on the first $7,000 of wages paid to an employee.<\/p>\n<h3>Mileage Reimbursement<\/h3>\n<p>If your employee uses their own car in the course of their work, you can reimburse them for mileage. For 2026, the IRS has set the optional standard mileage rate at 72.5 cents per mile driven. Paying mileage is not mandatory in most states, and you can reimburse your employee at a different rate. However, if mileage costs cause your employee to fall below the minimum wage, you must reimburse them for mileage.<\/p>\n<h3>Remitting Taxes Quarterly<\/h3>\n<p>Household employers can remit taxes, including FICA, employee income, and federal unemployment, quarterly using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-form-1040-es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Form 1040-ES<\/a>. If a household employer does not remit their taxes quarterly, the entire amount will be due when they file their personal tax return. This could cause an underpayment penalty.<\/p>\n<h3>Year-End Requirements<\/h3>\n<p>By January 31, household employers must provide <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-form-w-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Form W-2<\/a> to their employees and submit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-form-w-3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Form W-3<\/a> and Copy A of Form W-2 to the Social Security Administration. Then, a household employer must file <a href=\"https:\/\/www.irs.gov\/forms-pubs\/about-schedule-h-form-1040\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Schedule H<\/a> with their personal tax return.
