As more and more senior are opting to “age in place<\/a>“, the direct hiring of senior caregivers are being sought out by family members. Families have questions about minimum wage, overtime and questions about what constitutes payable hours during the care day. Often, they are not aware of the tax obligations of employing a household employee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Senior Home Care Minimum Wage and Overtime<\/h2>\n

El Ley de Normas Justas de Trabajo (FLSA)<\/a> applies minimum wage and overtime protections to household or domestic service workers, including in-home senior caregivers.\u00a0 There are some exceptions:\"FLSA<\/p>\n

Empleados dom\u00e9sticos internos<\/strong> Los trabajadores del servicio dom\u00e9stico que residen con sus empleadores est\u00e1n exentos de las primas por horas extras seg\u00fan la FLSA.State rules vary – this is not universal!<\/a>) The live-in senior caregiver must be paid for all hours on duty, however, they are not entitled under Federal law to the “time and one half” premium.<\/p>\n

Exenci\u00f3n por Acompa\u00f1amiento<\/strong>: Bona fide companions are exempt from both minimum wage and overtime in the FLSA, yet they remain employees subject to Social Security and Medicare taxation. The FLSA defines servicios de compa\u00f1\u00eda<\/a> as “services which provide fellowship, care, and protection for a person who, because of advanced age or physical or mental infirmity, cannot care for his or her own needs.” These services may include help with bathing, dressing, eating, etc. Some general household work may be performed but must be “incidental” – meaning no more than 20% of the caregiver’s time may be spent in general household work for the exemption to apply. Where the 20% limitation is exceed the employee must be paid overtime. Again, state rules vary and not all recognize the companionship exemption<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In these cases, individuals may negotiate compensation at their own discretion, understanding that fair and reasonable compensation is the best guarantee of low turnover and employee dedication to the work.<\/p>\n

Cuidadores de personas mayores y tiempo de sue\u00f1o<\/h2>\n

Muchos cuidadores de personas mayores brindan atenci\u00f3n las 24 horas del d\u00eda durante varios d\u00edas seguidos. Estos cuidadores suelen dormir cuando la atenci\u00f3n no se requiere activamente, como cuando la persona mayor est\u00e1 durmiendo. \u00bfC\u00f3mo se compensa este tiempo?<\/p>\n

La FLSA permite hasta 8 horas de \u201ctiempo de sue\u00f1o\u201d no remunerado para cuidados nocturnos que sean TANTO contiguos a un d\u00eda de trabajo programado (turno de 24 horas o m\u00e1s) COMO realmente ofrezcan al cuidador principal un m\u00ednimo de 5 horas de sue\u00f1o ininterrumpido.<\/p>\n

US News and World Report<\/a> recently noted that “by a 9-to-1 ratio, people prefer to stay in their homes as they get older rather than moving into an institution.” They often become household employers as they hire individuals to help them age in place.\u00a0 Working out these important details with an in-home senior caregiver insures a safe and healthy situation for all.<\/p>\n
