Responsibility as an Employer
By choosing our registry model, it is important to know your duties and responsibilities as an employer. As an employer, you are responsible for the following:
- Paying your aide directly
- Registry will not issue a 1099 or make any withholdings or tax payments for the Caregiver. Registry is aware that many individuals and families engage caregivers as ‘independent contractors’, and may file IRS Form 1099 to report the amounts paid. However, pursuant to Connecticut Statutes, Registry is required to disclose to you that, depending on the relationship between Client and Caregiver, Client may legally be found to be the “employer” of Caregiver
- Informing aides that are not a good match that they are no longer needed
- Discussing any schedule changes and informing the office
