Sec. 552.110  Recordkeeping requirements.

    (a) The general recordkeeping regulations are found in part 516 of 
this chapter and they require that every employer having covered 
domestic service employees shall keep records which show for each such 
employee: (1) Name in full, (2) social security number, (3) address in 
full, including zip code, (4) total hours worked each week by the 
employee for the employer, (5) total cash wages paid each week to the 
employee by the employer, (6) weekly sums claimed by the employer for 
board, lodging or other facilities, and (7) extra pay for weekly hours 
worked in excess of 40 by the employee for the employer. No particular 
form of records is required, so long as the above information is 
recorded and the record is maintained and preserved for a period of 3 
years.
    (b) In the case of an employee who resides on the premises, records 
of the actual hours worked are not required. Instead, the employer may 
maintain a copy of the agreement referred to in Sec. 552.102. The more 
limited recordkeeping requirement provided by this subsection does not 
apply to third party employers. No records are required for casual 
babysitters.
    (c) Where a domestic service employee works on a fixed schedule, the 
employer may use a schedule of daily and weekly hours that the employee 
normally works and either the employer or the employee may: (1) Indicate 
by check marks, statement or other method that such hours were actually 
worked, and (2) when more or less than the scheduled hours are worked, 
show the exact number of hours worked.
    (d) The employer may require the domestic service employee to record 
the hours worked and submit such record to the employer.
