Household Occupations fall under Wage Order number?

Household Occupations fall under Wage Order number?

• A. Wage Order 15
• B. Wage Order 13
• C. Wage Order 14
• D. Wage Order 16

Answer: (A)

In California, wage orders are grouped by industry or occupation, and Household Occupations have their own dedicated order. This specific order covers workers employed in private households—such as housekeepers, nannies, caregivers, cooks, and drivers—and sets the standards for minimum wage, overtime, and breaks for those workers. So, when asked which wage order applies to Household Occupations, you choose the order designated for household workers. Other wage orders cover different industries, so they don’t apply to domestic workers.
