Paid sick leave must be provided to an employee regardless of their full-time, part-time, temporary, or seasonal status. All hours an employee works must be counted toward accrual, regardless of how many hours they work in a given week or pay period, including overtime. A new employee begins accruing paid sick leave on their first day of work.<\/p>\n There is no cap on the number of paid sick leave hours an employee can accrue in a year. Unused paid sick leave balances of 40 hours or less must carry over from one year to the next.<\/p>\n Employees must be allowed to use their accrued paid sick leave no more than 90 calendar days after starting work. After that, they must be allowed to use accrued paid sick leave in a manner consistent with normal payroll practices, but no more than 30 days after it is earned.<\/p>\n Employers must record and credit accrued paid sick leave to an employee\u2019s available balance during usual pay cycles (e.g., weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, monthly, etc.).<\/p>\n At least once a month, employees must be given a notice that shows:<\/p>\n For more information, visit\u00a0Washington State Paid Sick Leave Requirements<\/a>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text ul_item_indent=”40px” admin_label=”other regs ” module_id=”other” _builder_version=”4.27.6″ _module_preset=”_initial” link_font=”||||||||” header_2_text_color=”#212492″ header_3_text_color=”#666666″ header_4_font=”||||||||” header_4_text_color=”#666666″ z_index_tablet=”500″ global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n WA Cares Fund<\/a>\u00a0is a state-operated public insurance program for long-term care services.<\/p>\n Employers must collect 0.58% of an employee\u2019s gross wages for the fund.

FICA taxes are 15.3 percent of cash wages.<\/p>\n As an employer, you pay 7.65 percent (6.2 percent for Social Security and 1.45 percent for Medicare).<\/p>\n Your employee’s share is also 7.65 percent, which you may withhold from their wages or pay yourself.<\/p>\n You don’t withhold or owe FICA taxes on wages you pay to your spouse, child under the age of 21, parent, or any employee under 18 at any time during the calendar year.<\/p>\n If you pay a household employee total cash wages of $1,000 or more in any calendar quarter, you’ll owe federal unemployment tax. This is an employer-only tax. FUTA is 6% of cash wages on the first $7,000 of wages paid to an employee.<\/p>\n If your employee uses their own car in the course of their work, you can reimburse them for mileage. For 2026, the IRS has set the optional standard mileage rate at 72.5 cents per mile driven. Paying mileage is not mandatory in most states, and you can reimburse your employee at a different rate. However, if mileage costs cause your employee to fall below the minimum wage, you must reimburse them for mileage.<\/p>\n Household employers can remit taxes, including FICA, employee income, and federal unemployment, quarterly using Form 1040-ES<\/a>. If a household employer does not remit their taxes quarterly, the entire amount will be due when they file their personal tax return. This could cause an underpayment penalty.<\/p>\n By January 31, household employers must provide Form W-2<\/a> to their employees and submit Form W-3<\/a> and Copy A of Form W-2 to the Social Security Administration. Then, a household employer must file Schedule H<\/a> with their personal tax return.

Household employers must comply with all tax and wage laws that affect nannies and other domestic workers. While federal laws cover employers in all states, there are state-specific and city-specific rules and regulations that employers must also abide by.<\/p>
