    Indiana's Home Care Regulations & Facts

    Do you know?

    The mission of the Indiana Department of Labor is to enhance the safety, prosperity, and health of employees in the workplace. Most Indiana employers and employees are guided by the minimum wage and overtime provisions of the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Some of which are:

    • The Indiana government has no laws specifying caregivers' timing and duration of meal breaks.
    • A caregiver in Indiana may be entitled to overtime pay if the employer has more than 40 employees. Overtime pay is calculated by dividing the weekly salary by 40 to get a regular hourly rate and multiplying by 1.5.
    • Holiday pay is not mandatory in Indiana, and caregivers are not paid for sick days, personal days, or holidays.
    • Indiana law does not mandate employers to pay caregivers for reporting to work if no work is performed.

    Home care management software can help make Indiana agency owners' lives easier. The GPS-enabled technology streamlines billing, payroll, and time tracking to help home care agencies keep track of employee shifts and compensation.

    FAQs: Home Care in Indiana

    Section 1903(l)(5)(A) states that the chosen system must be able to electronically verify for visits conducted as part of personal care services or home health care services for the following:

    • Which type of service was performed
    • Who is the individual receiving the service
    • What is the date of the service being provided
    • What is the location of service delivery
    • Who is the person providing the service
    • At what time the service begins and ends

    Section 1903(l)(2) also requires states to provide a stakeholder process to allow input into the state's implementation of the EVV requirement from PCS and home health services providers, beneficiaries, family caregivers, and other stakeholders.

    IHCP releases updates related to the EVV implementation periodically. A survey was rolled out in April 2019 to develop a decision for helping agencies with the implementation deadlines. The survey also identified the types of EVV systems the home care businesses are using in Indiana, their preparedness, and their willingness to participate in a pilot. Training began in early fall 2019.

    CareSmartz360 can be used as an EVV solution in Indiana. It offers simplified data migration, award-winning support and 1:1 training to make a shift from an existing EVV-compliant home care software.

    IDOH (Indiana Department of Health) oversees state licensed home health agencies for the quality of care delivered to Indiana seniors and to ensure caregiving is in compliance with state laws.

    No. Indiana laws require employers to pay only for the actual time worked. As a result, employers are not required to pay for personal days, sick days, or holidays.

    Generally, home care workers are paid for the time worked under the direction and control of the employer. A worker who has to remain “on-call” at home is not considered to be working while “on-call.” However, if the home care worker remains “on-call” on the employer’s premises, they are considered to be working.

    Employed caregivers in Indiana work an average of 34.7 hours a week.

    • Around 56% of caregivers work full-time
    • 16% of caregivers work 30-39 hours/ week
    • 25% of caregivers work less than 30 hours/week.
