The federal Department of Labor is proposing a change to the “companion rule” that would lead to the denial of federal minimum wage and overtime entitlement for caregivers. <\/strong>Home care agencies would no longer have a legal duty to pay minimum wage or overtime to the caregivers they employ. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Department of Labor is trying to deny home care workers their fundamental rights to a federal minimum wage and overtime pay. We have until September 2<\/strong> to tell the Department of Labor: home care workers are essential professionals. You must help us guarantee the rights of these workers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether you are a homecare worker, another homecare worker, or someone who depends on homecare, the Department of Labor must listen to you. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
