Is there a liability for overtime if an individual or family who is self-directing employs staff part-time who work for other agencies serving persons with developmental disabilities?
Possibly. It is always a good idea to have a written agreement or contract with whomever the family employs which sets out the conditions of employment including the Department of Labor requirements regarding hours of employment. Each situation is specific and should be reviewed with the appropriate authority to protect the person and family from violating labor laws.
