Employers Risks for Employing Undocumented Workers

The Risky Business of Undocumented Workers Employers violate the federal Immigration Reform and Control Act if they hire undocumented workers with actual or constructive knowledge of the employee’s legal inability to work in the United States. That Act exposes the employer who violates the law’s requirements to significant fines and penalties. It is important to know, however, that an employer may not discriminate against workers based upon their immigration status. So employers who do hire undocumented employees must nevertheless pay those employees all wages to which they are entitled under the law, including overtime pay. Recently, the Federal Fifth [...]

Nanny Tax Threshold for 2017

The Nanny Tax If a taxpayer pays above a certain amount to a person that works in their home, they will owe the so-called "Nanny Tax." For 2017, the domestic employee coverage threshold, or the amount at which the "Nanny Tax" will kick in, is $2,000, which is the same as the 2016 threshold. If you pay the employee less than $2,000 in cash wages in 2016, none of the wages you pay the employee are Social Security and Medicare wages, and neither you nor your employee will owe Social Security or Medicare tax.

Can I Legally Pay My Nanny a Salary?

Paying your Nanny Salary vs. Hourly Traditionally, an employee who is paid a “salary” instead of an hourly wage is an “exempt” employee under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), meaning that this employee is not eligible for overtime pay required by that law. Nannies, housekeepers and most domestic employees who work in your home do not qualify as “exempt”, meaning you must pay those employees at least the prevailing federal minimum hourly wage rate and one and one-half times their normal hourly rate for all hours worked in one week over 40 hours. Can you legally pay [...]

Is a Nanny an Employee or Independent Contractor?

Is Your Nanny an Employee or Independent Contractor? You Can Both Ask the IRS Is that nanny you just hired an employee or independent contractor? The answer has significant tax implications for both the family and nanny, because an employer is obligated to pay employment taxes for an employee, and may also have to provide workers compensation, unemployment or disability insurance for employees as well, but does not have to pay these taxes or benefits to independent contractors. Many nannies start work for a family with taxes the furthest thing from their mind. But then the nanny is surprised [...]
