On August 21st
the US Court of Appeals in the District of Columbia ruled in favor in the
Department of Labor in the lawsuit against the Home Care Association of
America. This allows the DOL to reverse
the overtime exemptionand place new rules
on overtime for companions. It also
removes people employed by third parties from the overtime exemption.
We expect an
appeal to the US Supreme Court, but have not learned of the Home Care
Association of America’s position to such an appeal as of today. We have not learned of the Department of
Labors position on when enforcement of the new regulations will begin. We will keep you updated in future emails.
