Employer of Record (EOR) Respite

With the Employer of Record model:

• You choose a care provider — often someone you already trust to care for your loved one (like a friend or community member).

• Heart of Humanity, as an authorized EOR respite agency, hires that person on your behalf and handles all employer documentation, payroll, and compliance.

• You may have direct input into scheduling, training, and supervision of the respite caregiver, while we manage the administrative employment responsibilities.

This option gives families greater choice and flexibility in selecting someone who meets their loved one’s needs and preferences, while relieving the family from the administrative burden of employment tasks.

EOR Eligibility & Requirements
To participate in the Employer of Record respite model, the respite caregiver must:

• Be 18 years or older.

• Be cleared through required background checks and onboarding.

• Meet any other training or certification requirements determined by Heart of Humanity and Regional Center policy.

• Live outside of your home

• Must be CPR Certified

This model is a great choice for families who want more control over who provides respite while still having the support of a licensed agency to handle employment logistics.
