What does your official background check include?

County Criminal History: This search provides the most current, complete criminal information directly from county courthouses. Results include: number of years searched, case number, charges, disposition, dates, sentencing details and more. ID Trace, National Criminal Database and other searches can provide additional jurisdictions for county criminal history searches. The standard scope for the county criminal search is seven years, with extended searches available in some jurisdictions.

Driving Records: A report of the candidate's driving history is accessed through state Departments of Motor Vehicles. Results may include: driver's license number, status of license, state, class, issue/expiration dates, violations, incidents, convictions, DUI information and more.

National Criminal Database: The nationwide scope of this search provides a broad view of your candidate's criminal history. A National Criminal Database search draws from over 505 million records from thousands of jurisdictions, including databases with terrorist and sex offender information. Some results from the National Criminal Database search must be verified with primary sources (e.g. county criminal history, statewide criminal history, etc.) and could result in additional searches.

National Sex Offender Public Registry: This registry includes sex offender information from the federal government and agencies from all 50 individual states. Maintained by the U.S. Department of Justice, the public registry search returns sex offender profiles, including up to level 3 offenders. Results and details available vary by state.

Are we required to pay taxes on our staff's income?

Hiring household staff means you are legally required to pay employment taxes and follow federal and state labor laws. In order to assist you with payroll, tax, and insurance, we refer our families to Home Work Solutions.

They will get you set up as a domestic employer, and take care of paying your staff, tax filings, workers' compensation insurance, and compliance with all tax and labor laws.

How soon can my new hire start?

We have candidates who are available to work immediately upon hire, or others that need to give a minimum of two weeks notice to their current employer. Some candidates prefer to give as much as a 4 week notice. From start to finish, we have been successful placing staff within 48 hours. But as a general guideline, we recommend expecting a 4-6 week timeframe.

What if my domestic staff doesn't work out?

We work hard throughout the screening and placement process to ensure we've matched you with the right candidate. Before you make a final decision we will recommend that you do a trial period (up to one week) with your prospective employee. During the trial you will also work on your Work Agreement which outlines all aspects of the position and what both the employee and the employer can expect from one another. We have found that when a client takes full advantage of the trial period and involves their prospective employee in the work agreement process, replacements rarely happen. In the rare event that it doesn't work out we offer a 90 day replacement policy. This means the employee is replaced at no additional charge to you!
