A recent change to the Fair Labor Standards Act has the potential to impact more than 2 million home health care workers and the seniors and disabled individuals they serve. This change, initiated by the Obama administration and set to take effect in January 2015, will provide pay protection to home health workers who were previously lumped into the same category as babysitters and other domestic workers. As a result, these individuals will now be guaranteed overtime and minimum wage in the same way that many other professions in the United States are.
