The Department of Labor is committed to stopping the exploitation of workers by residential care industry employers and holding them accountable for their unscrupulous employment practices. Our investigations find many care workers harmed are women and low-wage earners, who can least afford to be denied their full wages.
Labor investigators recovered more than $306,000 from the owner of six regional elder residential care facilities in Sacramento, Rancho Cordova and Elk Grove, as they failed to pay overtime wages owed to 44 employees across multiple care homes.
Wage violations are all too common in a home health and personal care industry that employs more than 700,000 workers in California, underscoring the persistent issues of exploitation within this sector.
Timeless Homecare Inc., which operates Amada Senior Care in Davis, faced fines after investigators found that employees were paid only partial overtime wages, highlighting a troubling trend in wage compliance.
