Now that the government both state and Federal have entered into controlling every aspect of caregiving, creating a soup of confusion lawsuits and endless bureaucracy, does anyone know what the financial compensation is for a live in caregiver arrangement per law? I am here in California, very confused.

or 45 hours in a work week.
caregivers are personal attendants so they are non-exempt employees and are paid hourly. In this state, the employee can’t be classified as an independent contractor either.
I like this resource from care.com

A live in caregiver can work a 24 hour shift but must have 12 hours off following it.

You should be glad the government is overseeing Caregivers. With people living longer, there needs to be laws in place to protect the Caregivers and the person receiving the care. We have stories on this forum where live in Caregivers have not been paid and are now being kicked out with no place to go. So make sure you have all your ducks in a row. Like any job, you can be fired.
