Are You a Home Health Worker Owed Overtime Pay in Philadelphia or Pennsylvania?
- Failing to count all time spent working;
- Paying “straight-time” wages for hours worked over 40 per week;
- Failing to combine all hours worked on behalf of multiple clients;
- Lowering the pay rate during weeks in which overtime is worked;
- Ignoring time spent traveling between clients; and
- Failing to count time preparing reports and paperwork at home.
Home health aids, caregivers, certified nurse assistants (CNAs), visiting nurses, licensed practical nurses (LPNs), registered nurses (RN), and therapists are often paid an hourly wage (for example, $10 per hour) but do not receive extra “time-and-one-half” overtime pay when they work over 40 hours in a week. Instead, they get paid straight-time for their overtime work. This is almost always illegal.
Understanding Overtime Rights for Visiting Nurses and Therapists
Other home health workers — especially visiting nurses, LPNs, RNs, and therapists — are paid “by the visit.” These employees are led to believe that they are not entitled to overtime pay because they are not paid an hourly wage — this belief is often mistaken. In fact, many home health employees are entitled to overtime pay, even if they are paid by the visit.
In addition, many home health employees are not paid for the time they spend driving between clients’ homes or for the time they spend preparing charts or other paperwork from home at the end of the day. Employees are generally entitled to be paid for all client-to-client travel time and for time spent working from home.
