Families who employ domestic workers interested in a tool to manage payroll, tax filings and compliance without the complexity of being a household employer
About HomePay
HomePay is a payroll and tax-compliance service tailored for families employing household workers such as nannies, caregivers, and housekeepers. The solution handles all the critical aspects of household employment, from creating federal and state employer accounts, calculating gross-to-net pay, generating pay stubs, processing direct deposits, and managing PTO, to automatically filing taxes and providing year-end forms. It also assists with proper classification of workers (notably helping avoid misclassification as independent contractors), offers tools such as a nanny-tax calculator, and provides state-specific guidance for household employers. Users can activate their account in as little as one business day once registration is complete; the service mails back signature-ready forms in a postage-paid envelope. HomePay emphasizes making “household employment taxes completely taken care of” so that families can hire dependably and compliantly without extensive payroll-expertise.
