There was nothing wrong with it as I paid for everything. It was checked, double checked and triple checked with the corporate attorney and accountant before it was done. It would have been wrong had I not fully paid for everything, including employer taxes. It was a legitimate employee benefit that any other employee could have taken advantage of.
Just because something is outside of the box, does not make it illegal.
So for the companies workers comp insurance your housekeeper was an employee of your employer? If your housekeeper was injured while working at your house you think that same counsel would be happy about her filing a WC claim with your employer?
What about unemployment insurance? Did your employer pay as they would with one of their own actual employees? Did you reimburse them for that? Did she file unemployment at any time that would have caused their account to be charged and if so, did you pay that back?
I'm curious; what did they have her listed as regarding her position and duties?
Then you mention corporate. If incorporated with shareholders do you think the shareholders would be ok with it? How does anybody know you paid everything back?
So if the company shorted her pay do you think the company would be thrilled if she filed a wage claim with the dol?
Yes, there is a lot wrong with what you did. I'm still not certain there wasn't something illegal involved but it's not the point of the thread I'm not going to get too deeply into it.
