Jim, That's not true. Read the article that I linked. Even if the housekeeper only come once every two weeks, you are still responsible in some cases. The article explains which cases. A person could always try to make the argument that their housekeeper (who comes once every two weeks) is an independent contractor. But the law is pretty specific as to under what circumstances a housekeeper is an independent contractor versus when she is an employee. I'm sure most people think that their housekeeper (who comes once every week or two) is independent, but as the article shows, in many cases they are not.
