Employment Partner, Kelly Raney, joined Riveter Consulting Group for an interview discussing the intricacies of employment law for domestic and executive staff. 

Excerpt: 

Gold: What are the key components of a comprehensive employment contract for hiring domestic or executive staff?

Kelly: The most important component is confidentiality, which can be included as a provision or as a standalone agreement, like an NDA. For private clients, a standalone document written in plain language is preferable. It could range from a short paragraph to a 6-7 page document, depending on complexity. Another key element is an arbitration agreement, which is crucial. Additionally, employment contracts should include job title, duties, schedule, overtime rights, and meal/rest break provisions.

  •  Statement of position/duties/schedule/hourly rate
  • Provision regarding overtime and breaks (if applicable)
  • Confidentiality provision/agreement
  • Arbitration
  • Provide paid sick time
  • Include the CA mandatory form called Notice to Employees: https://www.dir.ca.gov/dlse/lc_2810.5_notice.pdf
