Homecare workers (other than those providing care to a consumer (client) in the 24-hour live in program) are subject to an hourly cap of either 40 or 50 hours per week. Homecare workers who worked an average of over 40 hours per week between March 1 and May 31, 2017 may work up to 50 hours per week. All others may work up to 40 hours per week.   This is not a guarantee of hours, and your consumer(s) (clients) may not be assessed to receive homecare services that equal 40 or 50 hours per week. 40 or 50 hours is the maximum number of hours that a homecare worker can work, regardless of the number of consumers (clients) they work for and even if their consumers(clients have been assessed to receive more than 40 or 50 hours under which homecare workers are capped.
