<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Hi All-As
followup to my previous post, I realize the threshold issue
that I was ducking, but needs to be addressed first, is
whether the care givers are independent contractors or
employees. While I have materials from other jurisdictions
indicating it is hard to argue a home care provider is an
independent contractor, I can’t seem to readily find
anything dealing with the issue in Washington (most care
contracts I’ve seen all refer to care giver as “independent
contractor” but that is not binding on 3<sup>rd</sup>
parties/taxing authorities). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Might anyone
out there be able to refer me to CLE materials, etc. or
another attorney that deals specifically with
employment/home care giver issues in Washington? Thanks
again, Cy<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">Folks- I have a
situation where agent under a POA for F is helping elder
(with arguably diminished capacity) hire home care
providers. Agent was told by CPA he needed to get an EIN in
elder’s name to do the withholding, etc. However, elder
dislikes taxing authorities and is refusing to cooperate and
has told Agent he doesn’t have his permission to get one.
Assuming an EIN is actually required (I’m not sure of
employees’ status, employment agreements, etc.), any ideas
on what the Agent can/should do to protect himself while
trying to preserve relationship with Principal? Thanks in
advance, Cy <o:p></o:p></span></p>
