7a. Stresses how important it is to guarantee an adequate level of protection for domestic workers and carers, but also to avoid slowing down or complicating the recruitment process for these workers, which could discourage some employers from hiring them; encourages Member States, in this context, to develop official schemes for the employment of domestic staff, like the service voucher scheme which provides a simple and fast system for private households to pay these employees and ensure they receive social security cover.
