Title: Application of the Fair Labor Standards Act to Domestic Service | |
Abstract: Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) section 13(a)(15) provides an exemption from minimum wage and overtime compensation for domestic employees engaged in providing companionship services. FLSA section 13(b)(21) provides an exemption from overtime compensation for live-in domestic service employees. In light of significant changes in the home care industry, the DOL has finalized updating regulations at 29 CFR part 552, Application of the FLSA to Domestic Service, including examination of the definition of "companionship services," the criteria used to judge whether employees qualify as trained personnel who are not exempt companions, and the applicability of the exemption to third-party employers. | |
