For home health aides, the fight to end 24-hour shifts—or at least get paid for all the hours they work—has been a long and arduous one. Under former Gov. Cuomo, the state worked to maintain the status quo of paying workers for about half the hours worked.
Hochul said in her State of the State address last week that she intends to put $10 billion over multiple years toward bolstering the health care workforce. But it’s still unclear how exactly that money will be allocated. A separate bill to raise the minimum wage for all home care workers, as a means of addressing the workforce shortage in the sector, is also competing for state funds and.
After judges in New York ruled in favor of workers in two of these cases in 2017, Cuomo’s labor department responded by Wayne Ho, the president and CEO of the Chinese-American Planning Council, countered that “when home care workers have interruptions, [the Chinese-American Planning Council] has implemented an easy-to-use system for compensating our home care workers for those interruptions, which is not reimbursed [by Medicaid].”
