This Law Firm Publication by Ford & Harrison LLP discusses notices issued by the New York State Department of Health (DOH) on November 2, 2015 announcing that DOH is reversing its position regarding overtime pay for home care workers on cases covered by the New York State Wage Parity Act (NY WPA). DOH's new position is that overtime pay paid to a home care worker by a home care agency handling a NY WPA case may now be used to satisfy the NY WPA's required total compensation rate of $14.09 per hour. The notices affect home care agencies operating in New York City, and Nassau, Suffolk and Westchester counties.
