I need to know how to hire someone to do payroll, and in Ca I need to have workmans comp insurance... I cannot do this, I am way to overwhelmed right now, I live in Seattle, I already take care of her bills and make all of her appointments,,, I don't want to be responsible to do her payroll also,,, I am feeling very overwhelmed at the moment, she comes home on the 27ht of this month....
Regarding the payroll, does your Mom have LTC insurance? If so, many LTC policies have a Home Health Care benefit with a maximum per day for assistance at home. Your Mom would pay the help, and then turn in time sheets completed and signed by the caregivers and herself, and subsequently be reimbursed by the ins co., and can even have the reimbursement direct-deposited to her bank account. Inside every LTC policy, there is a form to use for initiating benefits, and the customer service # for assistance to walk you through the process.
You could also hire a local payroll service if she is paying out of pocket with no LTC coverage. The only thing I am not certain of is who would monitor the caregivers time sheets for accuracy. If Mom can't do it, then maybe hire someone to do the administrative/bookeeping tasks for her once a week.
Good luck, and I look forward to hearing how you actually worked it out. Lots of us could benefit form your experience.
Once upon a time, I did part-time administrative tasks for elders (before caregiver and administrative duties for my own elders became the priorities). Maybe you can find someone trustworthy with a secretarial/bookeeping background to handle this task for you.
