Legal Labor Law Compliance & Tax and Payroll Services for Household Employers
In California, the laws for Household employment differ from employment laws for other business. Even if you’ve been an employer or manager for years, you may be surprised at the additional education you’ll need now that you’re a household employer. In addition, it is critical to pay your household employment taxes correctly to minimize risk and maximize your tax savings. Although your household employer-employee relationship will be more familiar than most, you should not be too casual about your relationship.
Where do You Start?
We are pleased to refer TWO law firms that specialize in Household Employment and Labor Law.

Lisa also prepares employee applications, Employment agreements/offer letters, Timecards, Confidentiality Agreements, Mutual Agreements to Arbitrate, Employee Handbooks, Counseling/Discipline Notices, Termination Letters, and Severance/Release Agreements.
