Many home care workers would no longer get minimum wage or overtime pay if hired through agencies.
This bill would change federal law to remove minimum wage and overtime pay protections for many home care workers, especially those hired through agencies. It would define 'companionship services' and 'live-in domestic services' in a way that allows employers to pay less, potentially lowering costs for families and agencies but reducing pay for workers.
Today, many home care workers employed by agencies are covered by federal minimum wage and overtime pay rules. If this bill becomes law, these workers would explicitly be exempt from those protections, meaning they would no longer be guaranteed minimum wage or overtime pay under federal law.
