Who we empower every day
By Role- Agency Owners – Understand wage exemptions and apply them lawfully
- Supervisors: Monitor the difference between on-premises and actual work hours.
- Care Managers: Make sure that labor tasks adhere to the criteria regarding acceptable remuneration.
- Payroll/Billers: Accurately account for remuneration in accordance with live-in regulations.
- Schedulers: Keep exemption regulations in mind when planning live-in shifts.
- Caregivers: Understand the work calculation and when the exemption applies.
- On-Call Coordinators: Oversee live-in shifts and make sure assignments are completed.
Even under live-in exemption, caregivers must still earn at least the federal minimum wage for the hours they actually work. Any non-working “sleep” time is not compensable under this rule.
