Caregiver Pay and Retention Toolkit

Pay decisions in home care come down to margin math. The Pay and Retention Field Guide carries the margin math, the local market log, the position decision, the raise breakeven, and the counter-offer playbook. The Caregiver Pay and Margin Workbook shows what one billed hour leaves you, keeps the wage comparison log with your local median, prices a raise against the departures it would prevent, and closes with the six-lever summary. The Word file carries the exact words for giving a raise well, the counter-offer moment, and the honest not-now, plus the twice-a-year review, the wage capture sheet, and the whole-deal one-pager. General information, not legal or tax advice. Editable in Word, Excel, or Google Sheets. One-time purchase.

How this is built. Every TrueStep HR tool is checked against current primary sources, dated, and run through a documented quality and legal review gate before it ships. The catalog is built to one standard by TrueStep HR, led by a senior HR practitioner (SPHR) who has run HR at global scale. A generic template or an AI draft gives you a starting point. This kit gives you a verified working system with the exact scripts and a recalculating workbook, ready the same hour you download it.
