Questions people ask
I work directly for a family. Do I have rights?
Often yes. In California, homeowners insurance may cover people who work in the home, depending on hours worked and what you earn.
I'm paid per house, not per hour.
That doesn't take away your rights. What matters is how you really work.
Guides that can help
I got messed up on the job and I don't have papers. Can I file a claim?
Yep. In California, workers' compensation covers workers regardless of immigration status.
