You can assign layers directly to bones, which is the usual way of handling this situation.

So, parent your bones as usual, but assign your layers directly to the bones.

To bind a layer to a bone, select the layer in the Layers panel (it must be a sub-layer of the bone layer), click Bind Layer tool, then click the bone you want to control the entire layer.
