terms of employment..

Hi! Please note, you are in charge of learning how to be an “employer”, this guide is simply a reminder of what to expect for my hiring process. Thank you!

• Contact will take you to a short questionnaire that you can submit and I will reach out within 48-72 hrs with confirmation that I received your email.

• Upon contacting you back, we may set up a phone screening to introduce ourselves, discuss cares, discuss a contract, & you can expect to be emailed a contract (for review purposes only).

• The phone screening will allow me to take down information on the possible client & what’s expected of me so that those duties can be added to the contract, as well.

  • Reminder: I ONLY provide Non-medical private care. Please refer here for my, Rates & Services.

• Over the phone, we may decide to continue with the process. If applicable, we’ll set up an interview date where I can meet the client (you or someone else), go over the contract in person to discuss questions and possible additions to it, and then discuss taxes and percentages.

• The decision is not final on the interview date. I’ll take up to 14 days to decide if this is a good fit for me, and you will have the same 14 days to think about it. Once the 14 days are over and if you have not decided/responded, the hiring process will end.

• If we determine that you’ll be my employer, you MUST:

  • already have an EIN number

  • Verify work eligibility with Form I-9

  • Obtain workers compensation insurance

  • Be registered with the state through WI DOR

All of those must be done before my first shift.

• When we set up a start-date, this will include Paid Orientation (30-60 minutes before the first shift begins).

  • During the orientation, you must provide a W4 form for me to fill out, which I’ve attached here, Forms and Filing information.

    • W4 form makes me your official employee. (yay!)

  • During the orientation, I will provide the Contract for us to sign together.

Withholding my taxes are your responsibility as the employer:

• Taxes are to be withheld from my earnings each pay period- Federal income (if applicable), State income (if applicable), Social Security, and Medicare.

  • Federal tax withholdings have to be agreed upon and are based on my Tax Bracket

  • State tax withholdings for cash wages of $3000 or more in 2026, range from 3.5% tax to 7.65% tax

    • On WI DOR, you’ll file state taxes quarterly (sometimes monthly) using a WT-6 form and -annually- using a WT-7 form. I’ve attached information on these forms here, Forms and Filing Information.

  • Social Security & Medicare tax withholdings are paid for by both the Employer and Employee (Both parties pay their own total of 7.65% tax - 6.2% for Social Security and 1.45% for Medicare)

    • Combined total in Social Security & Medicare tax is 15.3%, every pay period.

• When you file your taxes, you’ll use the Schedule H form to find the total household employment tax withheld from the previous year. This form information is here, Forms and Filing information.
