This past Thursday, three judges with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit heard oral arguments from attorneys in the case Home Care Association, et al. v. Weil, et al., in a lawsuit brought forth by home care associations against the Department of Labor (DOL) rule that was struck down earlier this year. In December, the U.S. District Court sided with plaintiffs including the Home Care Association of America, the National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC) and the International Franchise Association, which challenged a rule that would prohibit the application of two overtime compensation exemptions: companionship services and live-in domestic services.
The DOL appealed the District Court's ruling, thus creating this hearing before the Court of Appeals.
