In a move to support self-managed care clients, Caregivers Home Health Care Inc. has recently introduced a number of payroll service packages.  

Basic Payroll Calculation
Our most cost effective offering, the Basic Payroll Calculation package offers clients all the essentials of a payroll service; specifically, CareGivers will calculate payroll amounts and determine liabilities based on client supplied employment information.  With this plan, the client is still responsible for administering their own payroll; but they have CareGivers™ to help guide them through all of these responsibilities.

CarePayer
The CarePayer offering is essentially a complete outsourcing of the payroll function.  Clients are responsible for funding their account, and supplying employment information (e.g. hours worked for the period), and CareGivers will take it from there.  With CarePayer, the client can leave virtually all of the administrative work of paying their domestic staff to us.

CarePayer Plus
CarePayer Plus combines all of the payroll service of the CarePayer package, and adds many of our traditional home care service options.  In the CarePayer Plus option, we do a home care assessment and retain it on file.  These assessments allow us to offer the client with home care services on short notice, for the occasional respite, or where a usual domestic worker requires time off, for example.  In addition, CarePayer Plus clients are entitled to receive a discount to our regular rates for these services; and, for nominal fees intended only to cover costs, they are also entitled to send their domestic workers to any of our insession training offerings.  With CarePayer Plus, CareGivers becomes the clients' partner in meeting all of their home care needs.
