Aaniie delivers embedded payroll built for care in the home

Introduction

Aaniie is a caregiver workforce management and point-of-care platform built to support care in the home across the continuum of life, from childcare to senior care. Serving agencies across home care, senior living, and childcare markets, Aaniie provides an integrated system for managing caregivers, scheduling, billing, and operations, helping organizations streamline workflows and deliver better outcomes for the people they serve.

These three markets share a common reality: caregivers do not work in one place, on one schedule, or under one set of rules. A caregiver may work across multiple homes, programs, and jurisdictions in a single week, each with different pay rates, compliance requirements, and documentation rules. For Aaniie’s customers, payroll needed to reflect that complexity.

As Aaniie expanded its platform, payroll emerged as a critical area for improvement. Care agencies needed a solution that could handle the variability inherent in caregiving without adding administrative burden or fragmenting workflows.

Challenge

What made Aaniie’s needs distinctive was the breadth of care it supports. Unlike platforms focused on a single vertical, Aaniie serves home care agencies, senior living communities, and childcare providers, each with its own compliance landscape and pay structures. Supporting all three required a payroll partner who understood the nuances of each.

Caregiving workforces face some of the most complex payroll scenarios in any industry. Split shifts, spread-of-hours calculations, wage parity requirements, and state-specific overtime rules are common across home care and senior living. Childcare brings its own challenges, including variable schedules, part-time staff, and multi-location families. Generic payroll systems are not built for this level of complexity, and most embedded providers do not support the features these agencies need.

Aaniie partnered with Salsa to embed payroll directly into its platform, creating a unified experience for onboarding, paying, and managing caregivers. The integration supports complex pay scenarios across all three care markets, including location-based compliance, configurable overtime rules, and the flexibility to handle edge cases that other providers cannot.

Solution

Using Salsa’s APIs and healthcare-aligned infrastructure, Aaniie brought payroll in-house quickly and with minimal disruption to its existing product. Care agencies can now manage scheduling, billing, and payroll in one place, improving accuracy and reducing the time spent reconciling data across disconnected tools.

"We're excited to partner with Salsa to bring payroll in-house in a way that's flexible, compliant, and built for growth. Salsa's developer-first platform gives us the control and scalability we need to keep innovating for our customers." — Scott Zielski, CEO of Aaniie

Despite the scale and complexity of Aaniie’s platform, spanning three distinct care markets, the team moved from contract to launch within a single quarter. That speed enabled care providers to benefit from embedded payroll faster than traditional implementations, without sacrificing the depth of compliance support their workforces require.

Results

For care agencies, payroll is not just an administrative function. It is a retention tool. Paying caregivers accurately and on time builds trust, reduces turnover, and helps agencies compete for talent in a chronically understaffed industry. By embedding payroll that works for complex caregiving schedules, Aaniie is helping its customers strengthen the workforce that makes care possible.

"In caregiving, payroll isn't just back-office work – it's how you show your workforce they matter. When caregivers get paid accurately and on time, they stay. That's why getting this right was so important to us." — Scott Zielski, CEO of Aaniie

This partnership is about more than payroll. By combining Aaniie’s deep understanding of caregiving operations with Salsa’s payroll infrastructure, care agencies gain a solution that fits naturally into how care in the home is delivered, whether that care is for children, seniors, or anyone in between.

Together, Aaniie and Salsa are building infrastructure that supports the evolving care economy across the full continuum of life, thoughtfully, compliantly, and at scale.
