AI HubUnderstanding Overtime Pay Laws for Home Care Workers in Minnesota
This video covers Minnesota’s overtime pay rules for home care employees. Under Minnesota law, most non-exempt workers are entitled to 1.5× their regular rate for hours worked over 48 hours per week, unless exemption criteria apply.
Agencies must integrate scheduling, payroll and EVV data to ensure compliance and accurate pay.
