Free Consultation with a Household Employment Expert

Paying your household employee the right way and figuring out your tax obligations may be tricky. Especially for a family doing this for the first time. We’d like to make this easy for you with a free consultation.

Call (800) 929-9213 for a complimentary, no-obligation consultation with one of our household employment experts.

We will review your household hiring and help you determine:

• What is required to hire an employee like obtaining an EIN, filing new hire reports, and providing Form I-9 to your worker
• What to pay your worker to comply with minimum wage and overtime laws
• Your employee’s hourly wage when you have a salary in mind (household workers need to be paid by the hour and not a flat salary)
• The taxes that will come out of your worker’s paycheck
• Your employee’s take home (or net) pay (after taxes are withheld)
• Your tax obligations as an employer
• Other state-specific requirements like workers’ compensation and paid sick and family leave

We can also advise you on:

• Benefits of paying your employee legally
• Tax savings when using a Flexible Savings Account or Dependent Care Assistance Plan through your employer
• Employee benefits like health coverage
• Background checks

And we’ll answer any questions you have about hiring and employing someone to work in your home.
