“Low Pay Commission to review minimum wage exemption for domestic staff
Exemption originally applied to workers such as au pairs but was often applied to live-in servants
The government has asked the Low Pay Commission to review a rule exempting live-in domestic workers from minimum wage regulations.
It comes after an employment tribunal in December found that the exemption was discriminatory against women. The tribunal heard extensive evidence that women are far more likely to be employed as family workers than men.”
