Are you a Massachusetts home health aide who drives between patient visits but only gets paid for time spent in their homes? You might be missing thousands of dollars from your paycheck without even knowing it.
At Phillips Garcia Law in Dartmouth, we've seen this story play out countless times. Dedicated caregivers work grueling days—six patient visits, 50 miles of driving, skipped lunch breaks—yet their pay stubs show just 5.5 hours for an exhausting workday.
