WageTime is payroll for Right at Home franchise owners. Most offices employ every caregiver directly, and many are licensed for skilled care, so one week can span companion hours, CNA shifts, LPN per-diem days, and RN visits: WageTime pays it all as one run.
For independently owned and operated Right at Home® franchise offices. WageTime is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Right at Home, LLC, and is not a brand-designated or preferred vendor. All trademarks belong to their respective owners. This page is for franchise owners and their payroll, not a caregiver wage lookup.
A thirty-year franchise gives an owner a lot: programs, training, a name families trust. What it hands nobody is the Friday math for a roster that spans companions to registered nurses.
Right at Home has been held since 2016 by a family holding company that talks in decades, and the brand’s own anniversary announcement says most offices directly employ and supervise all caregiving staff. There is no platform layer waiting to take the W-2s off your desk. The 941s, the workers’ comp audit, the caregiver who needs Friday’s check corrected: all yours.
Analyses of the 2025 franchise disclosure document describe a royalty of 5 percent of Net Billings (or a quarterly minimum) collected weekly, a brand fee computed on weekly Net Billings, and late reporting items billed at $50 a week. That cadence turns every week into a small close: hours, billings, and payroll either reconcile by Monday or drift apart quietly.
Where an office is licensed for skilled care, the pay bases multiply: RN visits at a fee, LPN days per diem, CNA shifts hourly with a weekend differential, sometimes a supplemental staffing block at a nursing home. Stack two bases in one person’s week and the overtime rate is the weighted average of everything earned. A spreadsheet picks one number and hopes; an auditor picks the other one.
The Cognitive Support Program certifies a provider after 12 hours of specialized training. Offices in the Parkinson’s Foundation’s Community Partners program commit to training at least 70 percent of all care staff. Right at Home University carries the annual CE load, and offices advertise that training as paid. Those hours hit payroll at a rate, inside the overtime math, and every one produces a certificate somebody has to track.
The whole roster runs as one WageTime payroll, a pay code per basis: hourly companion and CNA rates, LPN per-diem days, RN visits priced per visit type, and facility staffing shifts. When a week mixes rates, overtime computes on the weighted-average regular rate automatically.
Replaces the three spreadsheets that each understood exactly one kind of hour.
Right at Home’s Net Billings report goes out weekly; WageTime closes payroll on the same clock. FDD analyses describe a 5 percent royalty on Net Billings plus a 2 percent brand fee on the first $1,000,000 each year: the labor underneath is what gets paid.

Cognitive Support Program training time is generally paid when an office requires it; your employment counsel makes the per-program call, and WageTime handles the mechanics either way. Twelve hours to certification, times 70 percent roster coverage, is an office-wide payroll event, not a one-off.

Replaces the certificate binder that couldn’t say who counts toward the 70 percent.
$50 a month per company plus $10 per person paid that month, every run included. The brand’s recruiting site reports a 44.60 percent average gross margin for 2025, and in home care that margin is billings minus caregiver wages: payroll is the line you steer.
Replaces the payroll line that moved every month for reasons nobody could name.
Full-service payroll is $10 a month per person paid that month, plus $50 a month per company, with unlimited runs. No long-term contracts, no per-run charges.
Off-cycle runs and bonuses cost nothing extra. No long-term contracts; cancel anytime.
Example: 50 people paid × $10 + $50 company = $550 for the month
HR & hiring, onboarding, PTO, time tracking, benefits, and workers’ comp are optional add-ons, priced separately when you’re ready.
See a demoThe franchise owner, in nearly every case. Right at Home’s 30th-anniversary announcement states that most offices are independently owned and operated and directly employ and supervise all caregiving staff; a small number of company-owned offices differ. Wages, employment taxes, and W-2s run under your company’s EIN, not the brand’s.
Yes. Per-visit fees run as per-unit pay codes with a different rate per visit type, per-diem days run as flat-amount codes, and hourly aide time runs beside them in the same payroll. Mixed weeks compute overtime on the weighted-average regular rate; whether a clinician is overtime-exempt is your employment counsel’s call.
No. FDD analyses show designated home care operating software billed per client, and the brand has announced preferred back-office vendors, but the payroll seat stays the owner’s choice. WageTime fills it as an independent option: we import clock and visit hours so there’s no double entry, and we’ll confirm the exact flow for your setup on the demo.
Employer-required training is generally compensable; your employment counsel makes the call per program. WageTime’s side is mechanical either way: certified hours get their own code and rate, count inside that week’s weighted-average overtime, and leave a certificate on the employee record where renewal alerts fire at 30, 60, and 90 days.
Pay cadence varies by office: candidates ask that question verbatim on job boards, and many franchise postings advertise weekly pay. WageTime prices every cadence the same, so an office already reporting Net Billings weekly can pay caregivers on that same clock without buying extra runs, and a Friday departure still gets its check that week.
Right at Home publishes Item 19 figures and states their basis: the franchise recruiting site reports average annual net billings of $1,836,498 for offices open at least one year as of December 31, 2025, and a 44.60 percent average gross margin for 2025. Third-party estimates circulate lower and disagree; confirm the current numbers in the FDD itself.
$50 per month per company plus $10 per person paid that month, with unlimited runs. The price includes weekly pay day, off-cycle and final checks, and automatic filing of every federal, state, and local tax with year-end W-2s and 1099s. No long-term contracts, cancel anytime; onboarding and migration are full-service and paid, scoped on the demo.
