The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is considering the issue of whether a County should be considered an “employer” of IHSS providers for purposes of Fair Labor Standards Act overtime liability. CSAC’s amicus brief provides the court with context concerning the IHSS program, noting that IHSS recipients are granted the ability to hire, fire, train, and control working conditions of providers, and counties are therefore not FLSA employers. CSAC’s brief was drafted by its Litigation Counsel Jennifer Henning.
