AI HubPennsylvania's Caregiver Overtime Explained
This video covers wage and hour laws for home care workers in Pennsylvania, including overtime requirements under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). For home care agencies, it emphasizes that overtime pay at 1.5× regular rate applies after 40 hours/week unless exempt. Integrated EVV/time-tracking systems help agencies capture hours, shifts and overtime triggers accurately.
Who we empower every day
By Role
- Agency Owners – Ensure built-in pay-hour tracking, overtime calculation, EVV time capture integration and wage compliance
By Persona
- Supervisors – Monitor shift lengths, hours accumulation and ensure caregivers don’t inadvertently exceed overtime thresholds without proper pay
- Care Managers – Coordinate assignments so hours are distributed, avoid inadvertent overtime spikes
- Billers – Ensure EVV/time-capture feeds into payroll for correct rates, overtime triggers, accurate pay
- Schedulers – Assign shifts with awareness of hours worked & avoid carry-over that may trigger overtime unexpectedly
- Caregivers – Understand recording of hours, EVV clock-in/out and how it impacts overtime pay
- On-Call Coordinators – Manage on-call/emergent time and ensure those hours are captured and paid correctly
Accurate time capture and scheduling are fundamental to wage compliance. When EVV and time-tracking feed directly into payroll systems, agencies avoid risk, maintain caregiver trust and protect their bottom line.
