Nuestra Diferencia
When household payroll gets complicated, the right partner makes all the difference.
Household payroll is complex, and choosing a partner you can trust when your situation gets complicated is critical. We’ve built a reputation for navigating complexity while maintaining a personal touch.
Three pillars of differentiation set us apart.
Most payroll providers are built for volume and automation, but this doesn’t work well for household payroll, especially situations with unique complexities and compliance needs.
Household employment sits at the intersection of personal life and tax law with unique forms, tax identities and different obligations. HomeWork Solutions focuses exclusively on household employment, so we understand the unique distinctions and nuanced complications that come wiht the territory.
PILLAR 1
Deep Specialization
Household employment is its own discipline with specialized requirements such as, understanding the difference between companionship care and personal care under IRS rules Having a partner that understands these details are critical.
- 30+ years household-only
- Founded 1993
- Serves all 50 states
PILLAR 2
Compliance Depth
Understanding multi-state filings, retroactive compliance, IRS notice resolution, new hire reporting, and workers’ compensation details are common scenarios in household employment. A provider that cannot handle them will either decline to help or handle them incorrectly. Both outcomes cost the family more than the service would have.

PILLAR 3
Personalized Support

Handles Taxes for Employers & Employees in Different States
Most of the time, payroll runs smoothly. The difference shows up when it doesn’t.
These are the moments when having a dedicated specialist in your corner really matters.
01
Your caregiver crosses state lines.
If your caregiver works in one state and lives in another, the compliance requirements span two jurisdictions. SUTA rates, paid leave mandates, and income tax withholding rules all vary by state, and knowing which rules apply where takes real expertise. We handle multi-state arrangements every day for families across the country, and we make the process as straightforward as possible for both you and your caregiver.
02
You have been paying without formal payroll.
Many families come to us after paying a caregiver for months or years without setting up payroll, often after a CPA raised a concern or a caregiver asked about unemployment benefits. We can reconstruct payroll records, file late returns where required, and bring you confidently into full compliance. This is one of our core services, not an exception.
03
An IRS notice arrives.
IRS notice resolution is included in Complete and Premier plans. You forward the notice. We handle the correspondence, the response, and the resolution.
04
A state mandate changes mid-year.
Paid leave requirements, SUTA rate adjustments, and local wage tax ordinances change annually, and keeping up with it can be time consuming. We monitor federal, state, and local regulatory changes and we reach out when something affects your account so you have peace of mind that it’s covered.
05
You need someone who knows your history.
When something comes up, you can talk with a knowledgeable person that knows your state and can confidently discuss your caregiver arrangement and your family’s history. At HomeWork Solutions, relationships matter.
When payroll gets complicated, expertise matters.
Numbers don't tell the full story, but they tell part of it.
