Questions families actually ask.
What specific payroll tasks does RAPS handle for families? +
RAPS processes monthly timesheets submitted by families, then returns completed pay stubs and the exact remittance amounts required. They also manage T4 preparation, WCB filings, and payroll reconciliation for support workers hired under Family Managed Services contracts.
Do I need payroll experience to use RAPS? +
No — multiple reviewers describe starting with no payroll knowledge and being guided through the process step by step. RAPS staff take time to explain concepts like reconciliation and remittances in plain language.
Does RAPS also help find and screen caregivers, or only do payroll? +
RAPS offers both services: reviewers note that in addition to payroll, staff help advertise positions, screen candidates before interviews, and recommend best-fit caregivers, saving families significant time.
How long do families typically stay with RAPS? +
Many reviewers report using RAPS for 6, 10, 15, or even 17 years, suggesting the service is well-suited to ongoing, long-term care arrangements rather than short-term needs.
How quickly does RAPS respond to questions or process payroll? +
Reviewers consistently describe fast turnaround times and near-immediate responses to questions, including coverage when a regular contact is unavailable.
Is RAPS specifically set up for PDD-funded (Persons with Developmental Disabilities) contracts? +
Yes — the majority of reviewers reference PDD or Family Managed Services funding, and RAPS appears to specialize in helping families navigate the employer responsibilities that come with these government-funded care contracts.
