Nebraska at a glance Nebraska licenses home health agencies under the Health Care Facility Licensure Act; the license centers on skilled services, and there is no distinct non-medical home care license category. Nebraska's minimum wage reached $15.00 on January 1, 2026 (ballot-initiative schedule; CPI indexing follows), and the Healthy Families and Workplaces Act paid sick leave took effect October 1, 2025 — though 2025 amendments exempted employers with 10 or fewer employees. No state overtime law.
