Caregiver payslip template
Caregivers who look after elderly, sick or disabled people at home may be employed by a family, by the person receiving care, or by a home-care agency. Whoever employs the caregiver issues the payslip. Because care work often involves shifts, nights and weekends, a detailed payslip helps avoid disagreements about hours and rates.

Tips
- Keep a shift log with dates, start and end times, and whether the shift was a sleep-in or waking night.
- Show premiums for nights, weekends or holidays on separate lines so the caregiver can check them.
- Record expenses you reimburse, such as travel between clients, separately from wages.
- Note any paid leave or sick days taken in the period.
- Both parties should keep a signed copy, especially when wages are paid in cash.
FAQ
Who issues a payslip to a home caregiver?
The employer does. That may be the family, the person receiving care, or the agency that employs the caregiver. Self-employed caregivers usually issue invoices instead of receiving payslips.
How should sleep-in or overnight shifts appear on a payslip?
List them as a separate earning line with the number of shifts and the agreed rate. Rules on how overnight time is paid vary by country, so check the official guidance where you live.
Can I use this payslip for a caregiver paid in cash?
Yes. Record the payment method as cash, print the payslip, and have the caregiver sign and date it on receipt. Cash payment does not remove any tax or reporting obligations.
