As Amends the Law Today


SECTION 1.

 Section 1454 of the Labor Code is amended to read:

1454.
 (a)  A domestic work employee who is a personal attendant shall not be employed more than nine hours in any workday or more than 45 hours in any workweek unless the employee receives one and one-half times the employee’s regular rate of pay for all hours worked over nine hours in any workday and for all hours worked more than 45 hours in the workweek.
(b) If a domestic work employee is a live-in employee or is required to be on duty for 24 or more consecutive hours, the domestic work employer and the domestic work employee may agree, in writing, to exclude from hours worked a bona fide regularly scheduled sleeping period of not more than eight hours for uninterrupted sleep, if the employee has eight hours free of duty and available for continuous, uninterrupted sleep and the domestic work employer otherwise complies with this section. If the sleeping period is interrupted by an emergency, only time spent working during the emergency shall constitute hours worked. Absent a written agreement, the eight hours available for sleep shall constitute hours worked.
