State-wise Videos

This video explains how overtime pay applies to home care workers in Wyoming. For live-out employees, overtime pay at 1.5 times their regular hourly rate applies to hours beyond the standard workweek; live-in workers are exempt from the overtime requirement. The video also notes that holiday work does not auto-trigger overtime under state rules for live-in workers.

Who we empower every day

• Agency Owners — Ensure payroll policies reflect the correct overtime application for live-out vs. live-in staff to avoid misclassification risk.

• Supervisors — Monitor staff schedules, ensure hours beyond threshold are captured & communicate overtime eligibility.
• Billers/Payroll — Integrate time-tracking (which may be captured via EVV system) with overtime pay calculations and correct classification.
• Schedulers — Build shifts that respect overtime thresholds, manage staffing to avoid excessive overtime costs or compliance issues.
• Caregivers — Understand their rights to overtime pay when they are live-out, and know when live-in status changes eligibility.
• On-Call/Backup Coordinators — Recognize overtime implications when deploying backup staff, ensure shifts are structured fairly and lawfully.

Because overtime pay is tied to work status (live-out vs live-in) & to accurate hourly tracking, it’s vital that your agency’s scheduling, time capture (via EVV or mobile clock-in/out), and payroll systems are aligned. Misapplication can lead to compliance risk and staff dissatisfaction.
