Household Payroll Plans Designed Around Your Needs
Every household is different – and so are the payroll and compliance needs that come with employing household staff.
That’s why HomeWork Solutions offers flexible payroll plans designed to support everyone from first-time household employers to families managing more complex payroll, tax, and HR needs.
Whether you want guided support, comprehensive payroll management, or high-touch concierge-level service, our team is here to help simplify household employment with trusted expertise and real human support.
Not Sure Which Plan Fits Your Household?
Choosing the right payroll support depends on your household’s needs, comfort level, and complexity. Some families simply want reliable payroll processing and tax filings, while others need hands-on onboarding, HR guidance, compliance monitoring, and dedicated support.
Our team is happy to help you understand the differences between plans and recommend the option that best fits your household, caregiver arrangement, or nanny employment situation.
Common Questions We Help Answer:
- Do I need payroll if I only employ someone part-time?
- What if my caregiver works across state lines?
- What happens if I’ve been paying cash without withholding taxes?
- Which plan includes HWS onboarding my employee(s) for me?
- What if I want the same payroll specialist to always work on my account?
