The U.S. Department of Labor’s Wage and Hour Division (WHD) has today released Field Assistance Bulletin (FAB) 2018-4: Determining Whether Nurse or Caregiver Registries are Employers of the Caregiver.
This Field Assistance Bulletin (FAB) provides guidance to Wage and Hour Division (WHD) field staff to help them determine whether home care, nurse, or caregiver registries (registries) are employers under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). A registry is an entity that typically matches people who need caregiving services with caregivers who provide the services, usually nurses, home health aides, personal care attendants, or home care workers with other titles (collectively, caregivers).
