How can I use a flexible spending account to pay my employee?

Most flexible spending accounts require that you submit the payroll records to show that you have been paying your nanny for childcare services. Once the records you submit have been approved, you will usually be reimbursed for some portion of the costs. However, sometimes these paystubs can be rejected if they do not show what services were performed. Some plans require that a note is displayed on each paystub detailing what services were performed and the name of the child the services were provided for. This article will cover where to find your nanny's paystubs and how to adjust what services were performed.
