The Finance › Cleaner payroll screen shows, month by month, who to pay, how much and what is left to do. It is organised by person, like the Team screen: one row per team cleaner, whatever their activities (cleaning, linen, delivery…), then the external delivery drivers separately. Allow 5 minutes for an end-of-month check.

If the "clock-ins to approve" pill is shown, start by approving the flagged clock-ins. For cleaners paid by the month, see set monthly salaries.

Cleaners with nothing to pay for the month are grouped under "No job this month", collapsed at the bottom of the list.

Mark a person as paid

"Mark as paid" makes no transfer: it records the day of the payment and who recorded it. The bar under "Before paying" shows the progress of the month: people paid, amount paid, left to pay.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open the person's card, "… payment" block.

    Choose the day of the payment (today by default), then click Mark as paid. The "Paid on …" pill is shown and the message "1 person marked as paid" appears.

  3. 3

    To mark several at once, switch to the Table view, tick their rows, then click Mark as paid (2) in the bar at the bottom. The day recorded is today.

PillWhat it means
To payNothing is recorded yet for the month
Paid on …The payment is recorded
BlockedNeither an hourly rate of their own nor a company reference rate: the person can be neither ticked nor marked as paid

The payroll rules

The "Payroll rules" button at the top of Cleaner payroll opens the settings page, for settings that rarely change. The "‹ Cleaner payroll" link takes you back to the month.

TabWhat it sets
Hourly rateThe reference rate, and the cleaners of the month who have no rate of their own
SalariesThe rules for cleaners salaried by the month. Shown if at least one contract is salaried
DeliveryHow each delivery driver is paid, grouped into team cleaners and external delivery drivers. Shown if the Delivery module is active

The Cleaner invoices page opens from the "Cleaner invoices" link in the "Before paying" banner.

Set the reference hourly rate

The reference rate applies automatically to any cleaner paid by the hour who has no rate of their own. On the cleaner's card, the note "Company rate: no rate of their own" reminds you of it.

Step by step

  1. 1

    In Cleaner payroll, click Payroll rules, "Hourly rate" tab. In the dark "Reference hourly rate" box, enter the rate.

  2. 2

    Click Save. The message "Reference hourly rate saved" is shown.

Set a cleaner's rate

Step by step

  1. 1

    Open the cleaner's card, "How they are paid" block. Or, in the Table view, add the "Rate" column with Columns.

  2. 2

    Enter their hourly rate in the field.

  3. 3

    Click OK. The message "Hourly rate updated" is shown and the total of the row is recalculated.

Unblock a cleaner with no rate

When the company has no reference rate, a cleaner paid by the hour with no rate of their own is "Blocked": no amount ("—"), not paid, not exported, not marked as paid. The "Before paying" banner points it out: "1 missing rate". With a reference rate, nobody is blocked for this reason.

Step by step

  1. 1

    Click the "missing rate" pill in the banner, then the cleaner. Their card opens with the block "No amount until their rate is entered.".

  2. 2

    Enter their rate in "Their hourly rate".

  3. 3

    Click Save and calculate. The button shows "Calculating…", then the message "Hourly rate updated" is shown: their amount is calculated and they move to "To pay".

Apply the same rate to several cleaners

Step by step

  1. 1

    In the Table view, tick the box at the start of each cleaner's row, or the box in the header to tick them all. A bar appears at the bottom of the screen: "3 selected" and their amount.

  2. 2

    In the bar, enter the hourly rate.

  3. 3

    Click Apply. The message "Hourly rate applied to 3 cleaners" is shown.

    • "Deselect all" closes the bar without changing anything.

Export for the accountant

The software prepares your accountant's files, in your company's language. The window has two parts, and each part gives its own file.

    Under "Month", choose the month.

Frequently asked questions

Why is a cleaner under "No job this month"?

They are known (rate or contract saved) but have nothing to be paid for the month: no hours, no drops, no salary. They move back into the list as soon as they have their first job of the month.

What does the "Not approved" column mean?

These are the hours of cleanings not yet approved, according to your company's "When does a cleaning count?" setting. Approve these cleanings in Finance › Cleaning to approve so that they count.

Does the software calculate the net salary or the contributions?

No. It counts the hours, the bonuses and the absences. The net salary, the contributions and the returns remain your accountant's job.

How are weeks spanning two months counted?

In the payroll items, a week spanning two months is counted in the month in which it ends.

Where do I choose whether a cleaner is paid on planned time or on clocked hours?

In Settings › My company › Organisation, "How do you pay your cleaners?" block, for the default basis. For one cleaner in particular, in Team › Contracts.
