Chapter 5

Domestic service

Those working in private households as domestic servants (including young workers) are excluded from certain key limits on working time (WTR regulation 19) but are entitled to the daily and weekly rest periods, rest breaks and annual leave. Working time limits for young workers (see chapter 6) do not apply in domestic service.
