Are you retarded? How has this law actually passed in the Assembly? I don't get it:
A proposed law could put a dent in date night.
Under Assembly Bill 889, which has already cleared the Assembly, parents would have to provide babysitters with workers compensation, health insurance, vacation time and other benefits.
The law states that parents (domestic employers) who hire a babysitter on Friday night will be legally obligated to pay at least minimum wage to any sitter over the age of 18, provide a substitute caregiver every two hours to cover rest and meal breaks, in addition to worker's compensation benefits, and overtime.
The bill doesn't apply to family members who babysit, and excludes child care. Fresno Labor Lawyer Barry Bennett says the bill is meant to protect domestic employees including babysitters, nannies, and housekeepers.
Babysitter Christina Dimartini says the bill will hurt her when she needs to pay for books and other college expenses. "That's how I make my money, on weekends [because] I don't have time during the school days," she says.
Parents who fail to abide by the law will have to pay up to $4,000 in back pay and legal expenses.
WHAT THE FUCK? THIS IS INSANE. I don't get a meal break!!!!! WTF????? What are you saying? I need to hire 2 babysitters?????? So they can give each other breaks?????? How ridiculous. And what about OVERTIME? What constitutes overtime???? How many hours??? This is bullshit. Health insurance??? Seriously??? I can barely get health insurance through my husband's actual job!!!! AND WORKERS COMP?????? For what? Mental health benefits for when they are driven insane by the toddlers? WHERE'S MY MENTAL HEALTH BENEFITS????
You know what? California should pass a law that one parent should have to remain home at all times since they are making it fucking impossible for people to go to work. If you have to hire 2 fucking babysitters and pay for dental and give your babysitter a fucking paid vacation, you might as well just stay the fuck home and go on welfare.
Stupid California.
What a bunch of asses.
