Home Care Industry Update: A Legal Webinar Series
Thursday, July 14 | 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm ET
Please join Polsinelli, The National Association for Home Care & Hospice (NAHC), and Home Care Association of America (HCAOA) for a legal update for the Home-Based Care Industry (home health, home care, and hospice providers).
We will provide a substantive overview of the latest state and federal legislative and regulatory developments impacting our industry, including a new Home Care Workforce Action Alliance initiative, new government investigations focused on non-solicitation and “no poach” provisions in client service agreements, and recent union organizing activity.
We will also provide an analysis of how some agencies are combatting rising labor costs by leveraging meal and lodging credits for live-in care and mitigating the impact of costs associated with rising gas prices.
Finally, we will discuss the parameters and best practices for obtaining Employee Retention Tax Credits and mitigating the risk of a future assessment of IRS penalties.
Agenda
- Legislative updates on non-competes/non-solicits and government investigations related to no-poach and direct hire provisions in client agreements
- Updates on union organizing activity
- Use of 3M credit to defray cost of live-in services and strategies for addressing travel costs in light of rising gas prices and labor costs
- Updates on IRS activity around ERC tax credits and risk mitigation strategies
Faculty
- Bill Dombi, President, NAHC
- Vicki Hoak, Executive Director, HCAOA
- Denise Delcore, Shareholder, Polsinelli
- Angelo Spinola, Shareholder & Practice Co-Chair, Polsinelli

Paid Time Off: Creating and Structuring a Benefit Program to Recruit, Retain, and Reward
Thursday, July 14, 2022 | 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET
Many of us take paid time off for granted, but most home care field staff do not receive this benefit so they don’t get paid if they’re not working. Offering this highly desirable benefit is one way to reward employees, distinguish your company from your competitors, and enable you to attract better employees who are loyal and highly motivated. Some states have already adopted paid sick leave programs and that trend is expected to spread, so this could be the perfect time for your agency to get ahead of the government, as well as your competition. Join Private Duty Home Care at NAHC for this lively and informative discussion with a top employment industry expert.
Learning Objectives:
- Sick time, vacation time, or PTO – how to structure time off to best benefit your organization and your staff
- Mental health/personal days – why they’re important and what you can do to implement them easily
- How rewarding staff that works can lead to long-term staff retention and loyalty
