Paying cleaners by the hour: Hourly rate and monthly statement
Pay cleaners per hour instead of per cleaning: Hourly rate with valid-from date, billing based on recorded working time, and tasks without time.
Updated on November 13, 2026
Set to per hour
Under Cleaning & maintenance, Management, Settings, Compensation, you specify in the card Billing per person for each person whether they are paid Per cleaning or Per hour. For Per hour, you enter the Hourly rate. Valid from determines when the rate applies; earlier statements remain as they are, so a pay raise does not recalculate past months. The person's column in the table Pay per unit is then marked with "Per hour" and locked, their amounts per cleaning do not apply.
Billing per person card: the cleaner is paid €15 per hour from the selected date, their column in the table below is marked with Per hour
What is paid
For every completed task, the person gets the recorded working time times the hourly rate, precise to the minute, for every task type, including preparation, maintenance, and others. The time comes from time tracking: if your cleaner starts the task and completes it, the duration is recorded.
In the Monthly statement, their tasks are listed in the block "By the hour", each for example with "1.58 h × €15.00/h". If a task says "No time recorded", enter the time later under Working hours or type the amount directly into the row; without time, nothing is paid, the task counts under "Without amount". If a time is corrected later, the amount adjusts to the rate that applied when completed. A time correction does not change an amount you typed yourself. The Excel export contains hours and hourly rate for these tasks.

Cleaners see no amounts, neither their own nor those of others. Besides you, only a team member with the Admin role can see and change the hourly rate.
