Governments are recognizing the need to ensure household employees are paid a living wage and slowly phasing in wage increases over a series of years. Effective July 1, 2022, minimum wage will be increasing in many states and cities across the country. As longtime advocates for fair and legal pay, we believe this is long overdue!
Be sure to check out all the employment requirements in your state and stay in compliance with the law. We would also advise you to consider offering your employee benefits as part of a total compensation package that can help you minimize employment taxes!
