What are some of the federal regulations for home care workers that do not live with us?

If you hired a home care worker directly and the worker does not live with you, federal regulations require that you:

• Pay the worker the federal minimum wage for each hour worked up to 40 in a week
• For any hours worked over 40 in a week, pay the worker the one and a half times the worker’s hourly rate
• Keep employment records
• Count all hours worked
