Hiring helpers through the Easy Clean App allows you to scale your cleaning business efficiently while maintaining control over payments and schedules.

How to Hire a Helper

  1. Go to the Teams tab and select your team

  2. Click Add Member

  3. Choose from two options:

    • Friends tab: select from existing connections

    • Search tab: find new helpers by phone number

  4. If not yet connected, send a friend request first

  5. Once connected, click Hire

  6. Set payment details:

    • Payment amount

    • Payment method (hourly, per house, weekly, daily, percentage, or fixed)

Managing Helper Work Hours

The app provides Clock In/Out functionality to track work time:

  • Clock In: Helper starts work at a client location

  • Clock Out: Helper finishes work

  • Sessions under 5 minutes are automatically discarded

  • If a helper forgets to clock out, the system auto-closes after 24 hours and adjusts to 8 hours

Payment and Payroll

  • Access the Payroll tab within your team

  • Generate reports (weekly, monthly, or custom)

  • Review Clock In/Out records

  • Process payments with your credit card

  • Payments take 5-10 seconds to complete

Important Helper Management Rules

  • Helpers cannot see what clients pay the company

  • Payment method/amount cannot be changed after hiring (must rehire)

  • Helpers can leave a team independently via "Leave Team" button

  • Members can only be removed after all pending payments are settled
