520 | _aLong excluded from labor law, paid domestic work in the home—a non-prestigious activity often performed by vulnerable labor market groups—has regularly been described as work at the margins of employment and subject to exploitation. Over the last several decades, international and national legal frameworks have been defined across the world to regulate this type of work and protect the workforce. But what becomes of those laws in homes where domestic employees work? Focusing on the case of France, where the personal services sector is structured around collective accords and the institutions implicated in formalizing domestic work, this article probes the role that law plays in constructing employer-employee relations. Specifically, the research focuses on domestic work in the homes of wealthy people who employ full-time domestic personnel. It is shown that in this form of domestic labor, employers and employees find their way around the law and establish their own work relations: the law is not absent from them, but its usages are entirely up to them, a situation that reduces the role of official labor law frameworks and the external regulation they provide. | ||
