Hours, Compensation, & Schedule Requirements

• Schedule: Lead Caregivers are expected to be available to fill visits five days a week from 8:00 am to 8:00 pm. They are guaranteed at least 40 hours of pay per week, regardless of the number of hours actually worked—unless they decline a qualifying visit or assignment that falls within their availability window. In such cases, the Lead Caregiver will be paid only for the hours worked.
• Compensation: Lead Caregivers earn $21.00 per hour and are classified as “non-exempt,” meaning they are eligible for overtime pay (time and a half) for any hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek, as required by law.
• Time Off: Requests for time off must be submitted by email at least two weeks in advance so Case Management can arrange coverage. Time off requests are subject to approval.
