A domestic worker, or simply domestic, is a servant who works within their employer's household. Servants are distinguishable from serfs or slaves in that they are compensated, that is, they must receive payment (and, following labour reforms in the 20th Century, benefits) for their work. They are also free to leave their employment at any time, although social conditions may make that difficult.
In large households, there can be a large number of domestic workers doing different jobs, often as part of an elaborate hierarchy.
A butler is a senior domestic worker, whose duties traditionally included handling the wines of the household and some management of the other servants. Female domestic workers are often called maids.
