RoostPay: Nanny & Care Payroll

RoostPay

About this app

You hired a nanny, not a payroll department. RoostPay is household payroll for Canadian families who employ a nanny, caregiver, au pair, or other domestic employee.

Calculate hours, overtime, vacation, sick time, CPP, EI, and income tax. See the net amount to e-transfer. Keep pay stubs, T4s, and employment records in one place.

What you can do
• Caregiver timesheets and schedules, including clock-in
• Provincial employment-standards math for overtime, vacation, statutory holidays, and sick leave (British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta, and every other province and territory except Quebec)
• A provincial employment contract wizard
• Pay runs that show gross, CPP, EI, income tax, and net pay
• CRA remittance amounts to track — you still send the payment yourself
• Pay stubs for you and your caregiver
• Year-end T4 and T4 Summary files to download and file yourself
• A Service Canada ROE draft when the job ends — you upload it in ROE Web
• An annual child care expense summary to support the T778 you file on your own return
• TD1 details, expenses, and time-off requests

What RoostPay does not do
RoostPay is software. It is not a bank and not the CRA. You pay your caregiver and remit source deductions yourself. We show the amounts and keep the paperwork. We do not file remittances, T4s, or ROEs for you. We are not affiliated with the Government of Canada or the Canada Revenue Agency. We are not a CPA, payroll trustee, or employment agency. Review amounts before you pay or file.

Who it is for
Household employers and their employees in Canada. Quebec is not supported yet.
