• North Carolina has final and unclaimed paycheck laws which means that the final paychecks must be paid on the next scheduled payday, regardless of whether the home care worker had quit or was terminated.
• Home care agencies in North Carolina may withhold wages from a home care provider and pay them to the creditor for the following types of debts- student loans, child support, taxes, alimony, and ambulance service payments.
• The regular hourly pay rate used to base the half-time overtime rate should be at least the minimum wage, which is $7.25 in North Carolina, for the calculation of fluctuating workweek overtime pay.
• North Carolina does not have any rules for reporting time and show-up pay, which means that the home care providers will not pay the caregiver for this time.
• North Carolina is an at-will employment state, and home care providers are not required to pay severance benefits to the workers.
• The federal WARN Act gives North Carolina home care workers the right to have information on layoffs.
