Abstract: According to statistics from the trade union ver.di, around 115,000 to 300,000 migrant workers are living and working in German households as live-in carers. They do not benefit from protection provided by the German labour law on working time, although according to the ratification of the ILO-Domestic Workers Convention No. 189 Germany is obligated to ensure equal treatment of domestic and non-domestic workers with respect to working time issues. This situation is caused by the arbitrary and extensional interpretation of the law by the German lawmaker, which ignores the sense and purpose of the derogation stipulated by § 18 Sec. 1 Nr. 3 of the German Working Hours Act. In practice this enables the conclusion of immoral contractual arrangements.
