California's Caregiver Overtime Explained

caregiver overtime pay in California

This video tackles a crucial compliance and payroll question: Do caregivers receive overtime pay in California? The answer is yes. In California, most domestic caregivers are entitled to overtime pay for any hours worked beyond 9 per day or 45 per week, in addition to the minimum wage.

The video explains how this rule impacts both caregivers and agencies. For caregivers, it ensures fair compensation for long shifts & live-in care. For agencies, it underscores the importance of adhering to state wage and payroll laws to avoid penalties and protect caregiver trust.

It also highlights how home care software with integrated EVV functionality makes compliance easier. By tracking caregiver shifts, clock-ins, and total hours worked in real time, agencies can calculate overtime accurately, prevent errors, & maintain transparent payroll practices.
