Currently, under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), an employer is not required to pay home healthcare workers overtime pay. Therefore, home health care workers are not able to file an unpaid overtime lawsuit if they have worked over 40 hours and not received pay (there may be some exceptions, i.e.your employer had it written in your contract that you will receive such pay).
However, on January 1, 2015 that will all change as a new law was recently passed by President Obama. Staring on January 1, 2015, all home helathcare workers will be covered under the FLSA and eligible to recieve wages for all overtime hours worked. This includes any home health aides, personal care aids and certified nursing assistants. Overtime hours is all hours spent working after 40 in a single work week.
