Members,

A recent court ruling struck down the DOL ruling prohibiting third party employers from utilizing the companionship exemption. Other provisions of the rule remain intact, however. These provisions will impact the way you provide services utilizing the exemption. Attached is a memo outlining the particulars of the regulations.

Please join us for a conference call on Thursday, January 8,  at 2:30 p.m. Suzanne Scrutton and Michael O'Brien from the Vorys law firm will explain the regulations and take your questions.

To access the call please dial 1.800.582.3014 and enter PIN 629 915 092#

I will send a calendar invitation out as well.

Thank you.
