Structure and Pay Levels of Family Assistants in the National Collective Labor Agreement (CCNL)
The domestic sector is structured into a precise framework for family assistants, divided into four main levels, each associated with specific work responsibilities and two pay parameters, one of which is defined as "super".
โ
Level A includes roles such as cleaning and laundry staff, kitchen support, and other non-caregiving duties, performed under the direct supervision of the employer. Level B goes beyond executive skills, encompassing more varied and multifunctional roles like general house helpers and home caretakers.
โ
Level C recognizes professionals with specialized knowledge, such as cooks, while Level D and D super are reserved for roles of high responsibility and expertise, including the administration of family assets and educational management.
โ
Each level reflects the increasing autonomy and skills required, ensuring a fair and proportional pay system for the various tasks and responsibilities within the family context.
