Homemaker companions can be hired through a homemaker-companion agency or a homemaker-companion registry. Registries match homemaker companions, who are at least partly compensated by the consumer or who are independent contractors, with those who need services.
A homemaker-companion registry is required to:
- Provide written notice specifying the legal obligations of such registry
- Advise you that you may be responsible for paying employment taxes, workers compensation and overtime for the homemaker or companion
- Advise you to consult a tax professional if you are uncertain of your responsibility for payment of taxes
