How it works
From "where do I even start" to done.
Sumrex picks up after you’ve chosen your carer. Here’s the whole path — nothing hidden.
If you employ your carer
1
Set up the arrangementThe person cared for, the carer, hours and pay — a few minutes, prefilled where we can.2
Approve timesheetsYour carer submits hours. You approve or query — only the hours you approve reach payroll.3
Prepare payrollReview the gross, tax, NI and net figures Sumrex prepares, and the payslips. You file with HMRC yourself — Sumrex is not your payroll agent and never files for you.4
Build the Evidence PackOne button turns a date range into a complete PDF + CSV to organise for your council review.If the arrangement is genuinely self-employed
1
Add your clientsThe families you support — however you found them. No directory, no matching.2
Invoice & keep recordsSend invoices and track what’s paid. Any money lands in your own account — never ours.3
Log expenses & mileageSnap receipts, categorise, and let it feed your records and tax estimate automatically.4
See your tax estimateA clear estimate of what to set aside — then export for Self Assessment.Documenting your choice
You ask. You decide.
Sumrex never assesses, scores or recommends anyone. Interview your carer however you like — a call, a message, a visit — and keep your own notes on the file. Sumrex only keeps the record; the judgement is always yours.
=There’s no scoring and no shortlist. Sumrex has no directory and never matches, ranks or vets a carer — it documents the arrangement you already have.
