How Clara payroll works

Clara is a senior care platform that uses modern technology to help families find, hire, and pay high-quality caregivers for an affordable price.

Sign up

Create a care coordinator account with Clara to manage your loved one’s care, and caregiver employment.

Provide patient information

With just their name, address, and SSN we will register your loved one as a household employer with federal and state agencies, protecting them from tax penalties and liability. Don’t feel comfortable sharing SSN online? Our team of care experts is happy to take down your information over the phone.

Provide caregiver contact info

If you’re bringing your own caregiver, you can provide their name and email address and we’ll follow up with them directly to get them set up. Matching with a Clara caregiver? Great! Skip this step.

Set up payroll

Enter your caregiver’s wages and schedule and we’ll calculate your costs for each pay period, including taxes.

Get insured

Clara offers Workers comp insurance baked in, so you get protected from liability, at the best price, without needing to jump through hoops

Link a bank account

Clara will automatically run payroll each week, so you don’t have to worry.

You're done!

Need to adjust hours or wages? You can do that at any time from the Clara dashboard.
