The irregular hiring of the employees of the family home service

Abstract

The precarious work that characterizes domestic work has in the irregular hiring of domestic workers one of its pillars. Irregular entry into the labor market is being favored by the appearance of new agents involved in the hiring of these workers, who sometimes act outside the law. The present study focuses, first, on the analysis of the problematic assumptions currently revolving around irregular hiring, either by outsourcing domestic work activities through service companies or by carrying out abusive practices that degenerate into job insecurity. Secondly, the consequences that for those involved (employees and employers) have the actions taken are defined. And, thirdly, legislative improvements are proposed to eliminate the abuses implied by the irregular hiring of these workers.
