DOL Proposed Rule Would Revise Companionship and Live-in Worker FLSA Regulations | Practical Law
The DOL's Wage and Hour Division has announced proposed rules aimed at expanding minimum wage and overtime protections for domestic caregivers under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). The new rules propose to limit the types of work exempt from FLSA wage requirements, increase recordkeeping requirements for certain domestic workers and clarify that companionship exemptions are limited to individuals employed by the family or household using the services.
