Here's a link to a website where you can access the rules. http://www.dol.gov/whd/homecare/finalrule.htm My understanding is that the effective date is January 1, 2015 and at that time attendants employed by agencies and other third-party employers will be entitled to receive at least the federal minimum wage and overtime pay. We have been told that the rules may raise additional questions and answers will be provided through post-regulatory guidance. We are analyzing the rules now. More than ever, it is critical that the Secretary Perez and the entire Obama administration engage the disability community in the development of that guidance. There is no excuse now for failing to work with us and the administration should keep its campaign promise that our voice be the guiding voice in this debate. NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US!
