Company vs Independent Contractor

Company Vs. Private Caregiver

Our Company:

• Complies with IRS paperwork
• Complies with the labor board
• Rigorous hiring process including:
• Reference Checks
• In-person interviews
• Background Screening (continually daily updates)
• Coverage when your regular caregiver calls off
• We accept the assignment of benefits

Privately paid caregivers often obtain attorneys at your cost after the case has ended. Complaints are filed that you have failed to report or pay social security and unemployment taxes. The labor board may be called regarding overtime wages. This will cost you twice as much in time and money. In most cases, if the patient has passed away the estate will be sued. The injury could bankrupt a wealthy family or take valuable assets. Our company has seen many cases firsthand; patients will state I have known her so long she took care of my neighbor! Most of these caregivers refuse to go with a company and are aware of the laws.

Sometimes private caregiver rates are more than the company rate.
