[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We pay our cleaners with a check. I have no idea whether they report the income but I don't see it as my problem any more so than when I hire people for repairs or other work on the house.[/quote] Wrong. A house cleaner needs to be on the books if they earn $2,400 or more in any given year. We file social security, Medicare and unemployment taxes for our cleaner, plus maintain a worker’s comp policy.[/quote] You are both correct but talking past each other. We only hire cleaners who work for a service. If you hire a sole employee, you have to pay taxes, workers comp, etc. If you hire a service and they send a cleaner, you don’t have to do these things. The service is the employer not you. I would love to have a housekeeper and I can afford one, but I can’t risk even the appearance of not following the rules, so it’s just easier to never have an employee and just pay a premium to get someone through a service.
