New York S01762 sets limits on the maximum hours a home care aide can work without voluntary consent.

New York S01762 amends the labor law to establish limits on the maximum hours a home care aide can work without voluntary consent. The bill defines "home care aide" as a home health aide, personal care aide, or personal care attendant. It prohibits employers from assigning more than the maximum hours unless in an unforeseeable emergent circumstance, with a cap of four extra hours over a twelve-hour shift. Consent to work more than the maximum hours must be expressly provided by the employer and cannot be grounds for discrimination or adverse employment actions.
