The Supreme Court will hear a case involving the issue of overtime pay and minimum wages for home health care aides.
"[O]n April 16... the Supreme Court of the United States is scheduled to hear oral arguments in a case in which Ms. Coke, a 73-year-old immigrant from Jamaica, is the sole plaintiff.
She is challenging Labor Department regulations that say home care attendants, who number 1.4 million, are not covered by federal minimum-wage and overtime laws."
Health care agencies claim they cannot afford to make this change due to the reimbursement rates they currently receive.
