advantage - she has reportable wages so she can get a mortgage, prove employment for landlord, collect unemployment, qualify for social security, obey the law. For you, you can and must buy workman's comp which could protect you if she has an accident in your home. disadvantage - costs you more and she takes home less (unless you gross up her pay).
