Abstract: The 2013 Home Care Rule narrowed the companionship exemption to cover home care workers employed by private agencies under the minimum wage and overtime payment rules of the Fair Labor Standards Act. Applying the Difference-in-Difference-in-Difference analyses to the Outgoing Rotation Group datafiles of the Current Population Survey, this study found that, contrary to the existing skepticism, the Home Care Rule was associated with higher hourly wage rates and weekly earnings among agency-employed home care workers.
