California Wage Order 15<\/p><\/div>\n

As part of California’s\u00a0Domestic Workers’ Bill of Rights (DWBR) legislation, Wage Order 15, which had previously exempted personal attendants from overtime pay, was amended to remove this exemption and now requires personal attendants be paid overtime compensation at one and one-half times the employees\u2019 regular rate of pay\u00a0for all hours worked in excess of 9 hours per day or 45 hours per week.<\/p>\n

The DWBR\u00a0defines “personal attendant” as:<\/p>\n

Any person employed by a private householder or by any third-party employer recognized in the health care industry to work in a private household, to supervise, feed, or dress a child, or a person who by reason of advanced age, physical disability, or mental deficiency needs supervision. The status of personal attendant shall apply when no significant amount of work other than the foregoing is required. For purposes of this subdivision, \u201cno significant amount of work\u201d means work other than the foregoing did not exceed 20 percent of the total weekly hours worked.<\/em><\/p>\n

According to the DWBR, personal attendants paid by State or county programs such as In-Home Supportive Services\u00a0are\u00a0not entitled to overtime compensation, or if a \u201cparent, grandparent, spouse, sibling, child, or legally adopted child of the domestic work employer\u201d is the person providing services.<\/p>\n
