To use at home a childcare or call on othersother personal services, you can use direct employment, i.e become an employer.

As an individual employer, you meet certain obligations related to your status (registration, employee declaration, payment of social contributions, employment contract, remuneration, withholding tax, etc.).

The formalities differ depending on whether you are hiring a home care provider or engaging in other personal care activities.

To use child care or other personal services in your home, you can use a provider or authorized representative body.

If you use an organization representative, you retain the status of employer. You control the performance of your employee's work and pay the salary.

If you use an organization provider, it is the employer of the employees working in your home.
