Employment Related Issues (Caregivers) - South Bay Estate Planning Council
2023-04-27 14:45 - 16:00 UTC | HARIK THOMPSON, CPAs
Members, come join in the lively discussion continuing off our October 2022 meeting "Hiring Mary or Marty Poppins: Considerations When Employing Household Caregivers"

We all know many households hire domestic help, documented or not, and fail to pay employment taxes or follow basic employment laws. Would those who pay law firms and accountants to handle their business affairs permit obvious legal violations in their own home? The answer is often yes. We will discuss the common pitfalls in domestic employment.
