THE QUESTIONS CAREGIVERS ASK FIRST
Are CareRelay caregivers employees or contractors?
Caregivers on CareRelay are independent contractors and work under a per-shift service engagement. You are responsible for your own taxes; we'll send any required tax forms based on what you earn through the platform.
How does pay work?
Each shift offer shows the rate before you accept. CareRelay pays you per filled shift on the schedule we agree to during onboarding. There is no agency markup pulling from your hourly rate.
Do I need a smartphone or app?
No. Shift offers come as plain text messages. If you can receive a text, you can pick up shifts on CareRelay.
What if I'm unavailable for a while?
Reply STOP to any shift offer text and we'll pause dispatch. Text us when you're ready again — there's no penalty for going quiet.
Do you only operate in Michigan?
For now, yes. CareRelay is starting with assisted living homes in Michigan and will expand once we're running smoothly here.
What happens if I get hurt on a shift?
You're an independent contractor, so we strongly recommend carrying your own occupational accident or short-term disability coverage.
