A federal judge recently granted Littler's motions to vacate the Department of Labor (DOL) rule that would have prevented third-party employers from availing themselves of the companionship and live-in exemptions from minimum wage and/or overtime and that would have narrowed the definition of "companionship services" exempt from minimum wage and overtime under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Consequently, the Court has effectively temporarily blocked all of the DOL's attempts to eliminate the minimum wage and overtime exemptions for home care aides. The DOL has appealed these decisions. In addition, related bills are being considered in Connecticut, such as Senate Bill 446, which would require the Labor Commissioner for the State of Connecticut to establish a definition of the term "domestic worker . . . so that domestic workers working in the state may be afforded protections that are not available to them under current law."

In light of these developments, the home care industry is in need of guidance concerning how to properly compensate home care employees.

Our speakers will provide your organization with a status report on what has occurred thus far and practical next steps for home care employers in the wake of these decisions.
