HomeWork Solutions has supported families nationwide in their household payroll tax compliance for nearly 30 years. We have experienced trying times before - from 9/11, the Dot-Com and Real Estate crashes, to natural disasters. Never has the pace of change been so sweeping and global as the Coronavirus Pandemic and resultant economic shut down.
During the COVID-19 crisis, many people and charitable organizations need cash. The new CARES Act may provide some solutions.
Household employers and employees are searching for financial solutions to the current economic crises facing our economy. As we better understand the programs and benefits provided by the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES), families and caregivers are increasingly turning to unemployment benefits to provide some level of financial stability. Here we give an overview of how to navigate this important system which we all hoped we would never need to use.
COVID-19 and the resultant economic disruption caused many household employers to lay off nannies and senior caregivers they had depended on before the pandemic.
The extended duration of the Coronavirus pandemic and resultant disruption to normal economic activity is causing employers to make hard choices. A common question HWS client care representatives are fielding is, “Do I have to give my nanny notice of a layoff?”
You’ve searched for the best nanny and you’ve finally found her. She’s like a precious diamond: she loves your kids and the kids love being with her. She communicates well, she’s creative, dependable, and calm with whatever situation is thrown her way. A good nanny is priceless and when you’ve found the right fit, you want to hold on tight. But what if another family hears about how amazing she is, and they try to lure her away?
With the spread of the Coronavirus, also known as COVID-19, the US Government passed the CARES ACT, part of which includes stimulus payments to many taxpayers. What does this mean for you and your family? In this article, we've outlined some of the most frequently asked questions.
As an employer, are you unsure of what you’re allowed to do when trying to detect and respond to potential cases of COVID-19 in your workplace? Here are some answers.
HomeWork Solutions has received many calls about the CARES Act stimulus bill and the Payroll Protection Program offering forgivable loans to employers who retain their employees. Unfortunately, the US Small Business Association (SBA) has just issued final terms of the program which specifically exclude household employers from eligibility. The document notes that, “The Administrator, in consultation with the Secretary of the Treasury (the Secretary), determined that household employers are ineligible because they are not businesses.”
Congress passed, and the president signed into law, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act on March 18. The law allows employees paid time to care for themselves or loved ones and includes provisions for new tax credits to offset employers’ costs. But the immediate need to pay employees on leave may still be difficult for families struggling with monetary losses.
