Individual Household Employers

---

Household employers face challenging issues regarding hiring, wage and hour compliance, leaves of absence and termination. We counsel clients about interview questions, as well as minimum wage, overtime, live-in employees, vacation, holidays and other issues after you begin employing your household worker. We also can advise you regarding paid sick leave required leaves of absence. Finally, we can walk you through the requirements when accepting a resignation, terminating an employee or offering severance.

Employment, confidentiality and severance agreements can be vital to protecting your interests as a household employer. A well drafted employment agreement contains all the terms of employment to protect you and ensure your privacy. Sample forms online will not be tailored to your personal situation and may not reflect your state and local legal requirements. A confidentiality agreement safeguards your information to keep your personal and professional matters private. A severance agreement allows you to end things amicably with your employee while waiving claims and reinforcing your confidentiality. We are experienced in drafting all these agreements to protect you as a household employer.

If you receive a document request, demand letter, lawsuit or notice from a government agency or plaintiff's attorney, you should seek legal counsel immediately. These are time-sensitive matters that can result in substantial liability. Legally Nanny vigorously defends clients in audits, wage claims, and litigation. We fight to win. We understand the unique legal issues of household employment, and we can discreetly and effectively defend and resolve disputes between you and your employee.
