It’s a shame that US immigration policy and the reality on the ground are so chaotic. If it were not so, it might be a simple matter to figure out what a body needs to do in order to employ, say, a housecleaner to come in for a few hours a month.
It is not simple and, so, a guide like this is needed.
The Nanny and Domestic Help Legal Kit is a model of clarity and accessible tools.
The only problem? It’s a decade old, so you can’t rely on it to reflect the current state of our shambolic laws. It still has residual value as an intro to the matters you’ve gotta’ keep in mind if you’re about to hire somebody to work in or around your home.
It’s a pity when people who want to obey the law can’t figure out what it requires and others who want to work hard to make an honest living can’t do so because unclear laws make potential employers shy away from taking the risk.
Messieurs Tanford and Mooif, if you’re out there, please update your excellent product!
