Caregivers Get What They Deserve

As of January 1, 2014 Caregivers are entitled to overtime pay. Any time worked beyond a 45 hour work week will be compensated for and they will receive time and half of their hourly wage. There are about 200,000 housekeepers and caregivers that work in California and the majority of the are immigrant women just trying to survive in the United States. Most of the people being cared for are the elderly and if their caregivers are not being taken care of financially the elderly will only get the quality of care that the caregivers are being paid to provide.
