You sign first, then your caregiver signs — the same Review & Sign screen for a new employment contract, a wage amendment, a pay-cycle amendment, or an hours-averaging addendum. This step opens automatically after Continue to sign on the contract wizard or an amendment review.
1. Review the document
- After tapping Continue to sign, RoostPay opens Review & Sign showing the full contract or addendum text.
- Scroll through the entire document. A progress bar at the top fills in as you scroll. If you haven’t scrolled to the end, you’ll see a reminder banner: “Please read the entire contract before signing.”
- Once you’ve reached the bottom, tap Sign Now.
Note: If the document is short and doesn't need scrolling, RoostPay unlocks signing automatically.
2. Complete the electronic signature
A sheet titled Electronic signature opens with:
- Full legal name — enter your name exactly as on your government-issued ID. RoostPay requires at least a first and last name.
- Optional: draw your signature — draw your signature in the box if you’d like, or leave it blank to use a typed signature based on your legal name.
- A consent statement confirming you’ve read and understood the document and agree to be legally bound by its terms electronically. Check the box to acknowledge it.
- Tap Sign contract.
Note: You must check the consent box before RoostPay will accept your signature. If you try to sign without it, you'll see "Please confirm the declaration above to continue."
3. Confirmation
Once your signature is recorded:
- New employment contract — RoostPay shows “Sent for caregiver signature” and invites your caregiver to review and sign. Tap Done to return to Home.
- Wage amendment — RoostPay shows “Sent for employee signature” and notifies your caregiver to review and sign the addendum. Tap Done to return to Home.
- Pay-cycle amendment — same dual-sign flow; after both sign, the new pay frequency applies from the effective date.
- Hours averaging addendum — same dual-sign flow. After both sign, overtime is averaged from the effective date. See Hours Averaging.
Your caregiver then reviews and signs the same document. For a wage amendment, the new rate takes effect from the amendment’s effective date once they sign. For a pay-cycle amendment, the new frequency syncs to payroll the same way.
Edge cases
- Enter at least first and last name: shown if you type only one name in the legal name field.
- Legal name is required: shown if you leave the legal name field blank.
- Leaving this screen before signing a wage amendment, pay-cycle amendment, or hours-averaging addendum discards that draft — you’ll need to start it again from Household management.
- Leaving this screen before signing a new employment contract keeps your draft. Return to the contract wizard and tap Continue to sign again.
- Your signature was recorded, but the caregiver invite failed: the contract is already signed on your side. Resend the invite from Household management.
- Could not sign in: if signing fails because your session may have expired, try signing out and back in, then try again.
