Document background
The Contract of Employment Domestic Worker is essential for formalizing employment relationships in private households across Canada. This document is used when hiring domestic staff such as housekeepers, nannies, caregivers, or household managers, ensuring compliance with provincial employment standards and federal labor laws. It becomes particularly crucial when engaging live-in domestic workers or foreign workers under Canada's Temporary Foreign Worker Program. The contract covers comprehensive employment terms including duties, compensation, benefits, working hours, living arrangements (if applicable), and termination conditions. It serves as a vital tool for protecting both employers' and workers' rights while establishing clear expectations and responsibilities in domestic employment relationships. The document must align with specific provincial regulations as domestic workers typically fall under provincial jurisdiction.
