Fair Wages for Home Care Workers Act

Introduced·3/12/26

Fair Wages for Home Care Workers Act ensures home care workers receive overtime and minimum wage protections.

The Fair Wages for Home Care Workers Act amends the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 to remove exemptions for certain caregiving employees from overtime and minimum wage protections. Specifically, it modifies the definition of "casual basis" to exclude babysitting services and eliminates the exemption for certain caregivers. This change ensures that home care workers are no longer excluded from these labor protections.
