Hi there, I've looked around on the forums for an answer but haven't quite found a clear one for my specific situation. I am hiring someone to come in for 3 hours every Friday. This is so that I can attend Rotary Club meetings and get paperwork done and prepare for opening a center (I currently have an in home daycare). My plan is to pay her $10 an hour to make it worth her time. She is a college student and doesn't have classes the hours I need her so it's just some extra income for her.
Now for the question part lol. I know that normally when hiring an employee you have to withhold a certain amount for taxes and stuff but I'm not sure where to start on this. I'm trying to figure out what I need to withhold and what for and what forms I need to fill out but I can't seem to find a good list of this info. Do I still need to pay worker's comp insurance for an employee who only works 3 hours a week? I'm excited to hire her, I'm just not sure where to start. Thanks for your help!
