Employer of Record Services (EOR Services) for US Household Staff
Hiring household staff in the US has legal implications.
You need to create employment contracts, work out payroll taxes, workers’ comp, and there are different rules for different States.
Our Employer of Record services deal with all of this for you. We become the legal employer of your staff members, and you stay in charge of their work. The services are for household and estate staff, yacht crew, childcare, and caregiving roles. We also offer EOR in the UK, UAE, and France.
What our US Employer of Record service covers
As your EOR, Morgan & Mallet acts as the legal employer of your staff. We hold the employment contract, manage the payroll and deal with taxes, social contributions, and the legal responsibility that comes with being the employer on record.
When it comes to your employees, you direct the work, set the schedule, manage performance, and have complete control over every other part of the role. The legal and administrative part is dealt with by us.
Here’s what’s included:
- Legal employment of your staff under Morgan & Mallet
- Employment contract drafted to federal and state requirements
- Payroll processing, tax filings, and Social Security contributions
- Workers' compensation and benefits administration
- Compliance with US labor law in every state we operate in
- HR administration and ongoing employer support
- Discreet, confidential handling throughout
Why families choose EOR over running payroll themselves
Running household payroll yourself makes you a household employer in the eyes of the IRS and your state.
That means filings, deadlines, and personal liability if something isn’t correct legally.
With an EOR, the legal employer is us. If a tax question comes up, or a benefits issue, or a dispute with the employee, our experienced team deals with it.
For principals who already have a lot to manage it frees up a lot of their time.
How it works
You choose the candidate.
We draft the employment contract, onboard the staff member as a Morgan & Mallet employee, and start payroll.
You get one point of contact for anything employment related from then on.
Our team is experienced. We know what the IRS expects and how to deal with any issues that might arise.
