If you are in the Household Occupations, which Wage Order applies?

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

Answer: (A)

Household Occupations workers are covered by a wage order specifically for in‑home domestic work. This wage order sets the pay and overtime rules for employees who work in private households, such as housekeepers, nannies, cooks, drivers, and similar roles. Because the job is in a private home, the Household Occupations wage order applies rather than the other wage orders that cover different industries. The other orders are for sectors like manufacturing, retail, or clothing stores and do not apply to private domestic workers.
