Summary
The Fair Wages for Home Care Workers Act changes the Fair Labor Standards Act so that people who provide babysitting services on a casual, irregular basis are no longer exempt from overtime and minimum‑wage rules. It adds clear definitions for “babysitting services” and “casual basis” and removes a prior exemption. The goal is to give these workers basic wage protections.
