Abstract

The fact that domestic workers can be considered within the groups of atypical workers is determined by the employment relationship established in this type of activity since, generally, they are not hired by a company that assigns them to different homes, but it is the individuals themselves who “hire” them to come to the family home. This fact means that most of the time there is no real contract, and they are excluded from Social Security coverage, specifically unemployment benefits and temporary disability benefits. In this work we are going to analyze the situation of this group after the publication of Royal Decree-law 16/2022, of September 6, for the improvement of the working conditions and Social Security of home workers.
