If you're paying over $2,400 per year (equivalent to $47 per week), it's important to know that it is a legal requirement to pay your employees above board. Many people mistakenly classify nannies, caregivers, and part-time or multi-family workers as independent contractors when they are actually considered employees. The IRS is clear in stating that you must withhold and pay employer taxes.

We understand that this may sound complicated and challenging, which is why we created Nest Payroll. With our native iOS app for iPhone and iPad, we take care of all your tax work while making payday a breeze.

You may wonder why it's important to pay on the books. The benefits extend to both you and your employee. Your employee will receive the safety net of unemployment insurance, Social Security, Medicare, the ability to build credit, and verifiable income for basic needs like renting an apartment. Meanwhile, you can rest easy knowing that you're protected from fines, penalties, wage theft lawsuits, and any potential risks to your professional career that may arise when a former employee files for unemployment.

Some might worry that paying employer taxes is expensive, but the additional cost is only around 10%, which is a small price to pay for the peace of mind gained from following the law. Plus, paying above board allows you to take advantage of tax credits for dependent care. Many families even find that they break even.
