[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The people who say a nanny can't collect unemployment if paid under the table are woefully uninformed. I was paid under the table and win an unemployment claim. The employers have to pay back taxes.[/quote]

[b]You would have had to pay back taxes as well[/b] unless your employers had to pay your share of taxes and penalties. Nannies can submit unemployment claims even if they are paid in cash, but back taxes will have to be paid and penalties usually incur.

It's so much easier to be put on payroll. The benefits far outweigh the drawbacks. The legal aspect goes without saying. [/quote]

Many nannies don't owe any back taxes. The employer's are responsible for all the payroll taxes they didn't collect so the nanny is left with income tax. If she is unemployed any chunk of the year, she probably doesn't have enough income to owe any, or much. I agree that it is better to be on payroll, just pointing out that the risks to the nanny are less than most families realize.[/quote]
