In an order dated October 20, 2015, pursuant to the D.C. Circuit’s mandate issued on October 13, 2015, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon entered summary judgment in favor of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) in Home Care Association of America v. Weil. In this case, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit upheld the DOL’s Home Care Rule, which, among other things, prevents third-party employers of home care “companions” or live-in caregivers for the elderly and disabled from availing themselves of the longstanding statutory exemptions from the federal Fair Labor Standards Act’s minimum wage and/or overtime requirements.
