When you change a caregiver’s pay rate, you sign the wage amendment addendum first, before your caregiver signs. This article covers that signing step, which opens automatically after you submit a wage amendment.
1. Review the document
- After tapping Continue to sign on the wage amendment form, RoostPay opens Review & Sign showing the full 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 addendum 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, RoostPay shows “Sent for employee signature” with a note that your caregiver will be notified to review and sign the wage amendment. Tap Done to return to Home.
Your caregiver then receives a notification to review and sign the same addendum. Once they sign, you’re notified and the new rate takes effect from the amendment’s effective date.
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 discards your wage amendment draft — you’ll need to start the wage amendment again 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.
