It will depend if the personal assistant will be a sub-contractor or an employee.

If he/she is a sub-contractor then you only will need to issue a 1099 at the end of the year for the payments made to him/her for the work.

If he/she is an employee then you need:

To withhold Federal, State and FICO taxes from each paycheck
Many states will require you to pay for workers comp insurance and unemployment insurance
File quarterly and annual payroll tax returns to the IRS and State if required.
