The Department has issued guidance specifically about how the Fair Labor Standards Act, including the new Final Rule, applies to shared living arrangements, including adult foster care and paid roommate situations. The guidance explains how to determine whether the FLSA applies to a given arrangement and if so, how the employer can comply with it, including when an employer may exclude sleep time from paid time and how to calculate wages when an employer properly takes credit for providing an employee’s room and board. The guidance is available at http://www.dol.gov/whd/homecare/shared_living.htm.
