Built for cleaning companies

Cleaning Company Payroll Software

Cleaning company payroll software turns the hours your crew actually worked into a pay run you can review and export. CleanPilotPro builds each week's payroll from tracked hours on completed jobs, applies the cleaner's compensation setup, and lets you split a single check between cash and direct deposit. Every pay record is stored per cleaner per week so you can go back and see exactly how a number was produced.

What it is

A weekly pay run per cleaner. Each payroll record is tied to a specific week start, so periods never overlap or double-count. Hours come from time entries on completed jobs, with each cleaner's stored compensation used to calculate pay.

  • Weekly pay periods keyed to a Monday week start
  • Per-cleaner compensation stored once and reused
  • Payroll records kept as history, not overwritten
  • CSV export for your accountant or payroll provider

Why cleaning companies use it

Cleaning payroll is unusually messy: variable hours, mixed pay types, cash requests, and cleaners who work for two crews in the same week. Doing it in a spreadsheet means re-entering hours by hand and arguing about totals. Generating it from the same records that hold the jobs removes both.

Split cash and direct deposit

Some cleaners want part of a check in cash. CleanPilotPro lets you allocate a cleaner's hours between cash and direct deposit for a given week, and both allocations stay attached to the same pay record.

  • Allocate hours between cash and direct deposit per week
  • Payment method mix visible in reporting
  • Pay history viewable by the office and by the cleaner

Common problems it solves

Rebuilding hours from texts, paying for jobs that were canceled, mismatched weeks, and no paper trail when a cleaner questions a check.

  • Canceled and skipped jobs never enter the pay run
  • Strict week matching prevents overlap between periods
  • Cleaners self-serve their pay history instead of calling the office

Example workflow: closing out a pay week

  1. 1The week's jobs finish and clock-outs are recorded.
  2. 2Open the payroll view for that week start date.
  3. 3Review each cleaner's hours, adjusting where a punch was missed.
  4. 4Split any cleaner's pay between cash and direct deposit if needed.
  5. 5Export the run and pay from the same numbers your crew can see.

Who it is best for

  • Owners running payroll from a notebook or spreadsheet
  • Companies paying a mix of cash and direct deposit
  • Managers who need a defensible record of every check
  • Teams growing past the point of manual hour math

Frequently asked questions

How is cleaning payroll calculated in CleanPilotPro?

Payroll for a week is built from tracked hours on completed jobs for each cleaner, using the compensation stored on that cleaner's profile. Where a time entry is missing, the job's expected hours are used.

Can I split one cleaner's pay between cash and direct deposit?

Yes. You can allocate a cleaner's hours for that week between cash and direct deposit, and both parts stay on the same pay record.

Are canceled jobs paid?

No. Only completed jobs enter payroll and revenue calculations. Canceled and skipped jobs are excluded.

Can I export payroll?

Yes. Pay runs can be exported to CSV so you can hand them to an accountant or load them into your payroll provider.

Can cleaners see their own pay history?

Yes. Each cleaner has a pay history view in their portal showing past weeks, hours, and how the pay was split.

Does CleanPilotPro file taxes or send the money?

No. CleanPilotPro calculates and records the pay run and exports it. Filing and payment stay with your payroll provider or accountant.
