Currently, employers are&nbsp; not legally required&nbsp;under Federal law to pay home care workers either minimum wage or overtime. This is the case whether they are employed by a family directly, or employed by a third party home care staffing agency. The proposed rule would amend the companionship exemption in two substantial ways. First, the definition of the types of work that a companion may perform will be strictly limited to companionship, and a companion can do no incidental household work or light housekeeping. Secondly, the proposed regulations specifically limit the exemption to individuals employed directly by the individual or family. Home care workers employed by third parties would not qualify under the proposal for the companionship exemption.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>El Departamento de Trabajo de EE.
