Employers Seek
Details OF Law on
Domestic HeIp

Employers of domestic help con-
tinue TO lombard the staff at the
State Employment service with
questions about the housemaids law
and how is affects them. Director
Thomas N. Finney said Wednesday
One OF the main questions con-
Germs the application of the law,
he said, to servants who do not
work a full work-week.
If an employe works less than
50 hours for one employer" Finney
said, 1T is not mandatory for the
employer to take out Workmens
compensation insurance. But in the
event of accident or injury the en-
ployer is just as liable as if the
employe worked a full Work-week
When the employe works more
than 50 hours a week for one en-
ployer,' Finney said, ''it is man.
datory for the employer to take
out Workmens compensation in
surance. Penalty for failure to take
cut the insurance is a mandatory
fine of not less than $500"
The law applies to maids, buffers
yaletS, ehauffeurs, gardeners and
other domestic help. Finney recon-
mended that employers sign formal
contracts with their help, specify
ing exactly how many hours week
they will be expected to work.
