Domestic Workers - Part-time

What is Class Code 9690?

Class code 9690 covers part-time domestic workers employed in private residences, including housekeepers, nannies, gardeners, and personal assistants who work fewer than the threshold hours that would require standard domestic worker coverage. Florida homeowners who employ part-time domestic help may be required to carry workers' compensation coverage depending on the number of hours worked. This classification carries a relatively low rate due to the generally non-hazardous nature of domestic work.

Who is Covered Under This Code?

Part-time housekeepers, nannies, gardeners, personal assistants, and other domestic workers employed in private residences.
