A live-in companion is defined as a worker who, in exchange for a competitive per diem wage plus free room and board, agrees to be employed to provide around-the-clock care to his or her elderly client. Contrary to what some believe, live-in workers do not literally work 24 hours each day. Live-ins are entitled to eight hours of uninterrupted sleep and in many cases enjoy ample downtime during the day.

Employers got a rude surprise Monday when the California Supreme Court gave overworked employees more time to seek compensation for missed meal and rest breaks.

The unanimous ruling -- which some management-side lawyers called shocking -- allows employees who have been denied the state-mandated breaks up to three years to file suit. Employers had argued there was a one-year statute of limitations.

Robert Tollen, who represented the defendant, Kenneth Cole Productions Inc., said the ruling could "easily" cost companies millions of dollars. Especially, he said, because of an ever-increasing number of wage-and-hour class actions in California.
