Ratified: 24 March 2014

A new law (2013) on domestic workers, is granting them the same rights as workers in other sectors, including working hours, paid maternity leave, paid holidays, the minimum wage, a yearly bonus and compensation in case of layoffs or dismissal, compulsory social security coverage and collective bargaining. It set a minimum age of 16 and provides additional protections for live-in domestic workers. All provisions cover migrant domestic workers. The first collective agreement (2015) was reached and negotiated by the domestic workers union UPACP.
