Former employees of two home-care companies sued for unpaid minimum wages under Georgia’s Minimum Wage Law, including compensation for travel between clients. A federal district court certified two questions to the Supreme Court of Georgia: whether an employee exempt from some Fair Labor Standards Act requirements remained covered for purposes of Georgia’s statute, and whether workers providing in-home personal support were excluded as domestic employees. The Court answered both questions no. It held that an FLSA exemption did not itself prevent the employees from receiving Georgia minimum-wage protection. It also held that the exception applies only when the worker provides services in the worker’s own employer’s home; staff of third-party agencies do not qualify merely because they work in clients’ homes. The Court limited its answer to the third-party-agency workers before it and did not decide whether home-care workers hired directly by households fall within the exception.
