Federal HB7917 amends the Fair Labor Standards Act to ensure home care workers receive overtime and minimum wage protections.
Federal HB7917, the Fair Wages for Home Care Workers Act, amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to eliminate exemptions for certain caregiving employees from overtime and minimum wage protections. This change ensures that home care workers, including home health aides and personal care aides, are no longer excluded from these labor protections. The bill redefines "babysitting services" to clarify the scope of the exemption and limits the definition of "casual basis" to those providing babysitting services.
