LEISURE CARE NURSES REGISTRY

Placing Independent Contractor Caregivers in the home

Advantages of choosing an independent contractor caregiver:

• Cost Effectiveness - usually costs substantially less than a non-medical employee caregiver
• Flexibility - the family and the caregiver determine what tasks need to be done instead of having the tasks restricted or mandated.

Advantages of using Leisure Care Nurses Registry to choose your independent contractor caregiver:

• Dependability
• Scheduling becomes our responsibility not yours

     At Leisure Care Nurses Registry we:

• Personally interview every caregiver
• Check References
• Keep fingerprints on file
• Maintain records of TB tests
• Verify and keep current copies of all professional licenses
• Keep contracts signed by caregivers verifying they are independent contractors responsible for the own social security payments and taxes and confirming they are not eligible for worker's comp or unemployment.

"Leisure Care Nurses Registry is a Referral Agency"

Leisure Care Nurses Registry is not the employer of the domestic worker it refers to you. The domestic worker may be your employee or an independent contractor depending on the relationship you have with him or her.  If you direct and control the manner and means by which the domestic worker performs his or her work you may have employer responsibilities, including employment taxes and workers' compensation, under state and federal law.  For additional information, contact your local Employment Development Department and the Internal Revenue Service (CA civil code 1812.5095.)
