Court of Appeals Agrees with DOL on Overtime Rules for Companion Services 8/26/2015

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.
