Cleaning almost never runs on pure piece rate — it's usually a base hourly wage plus a percentage of the job. Here's how that works, and how far Crewsplit gets you today.
Typically $16–18/hr as an entry-level floor, paid for actual hours on the job — this is the income-stability piece, independent of how efficiently the job goes.
On top of the base, a commission of roughly 15–22% of job revenue per cleaner, often weighted higher for a team lead (e.g. 20% lead / 15% each teammate on a 3-person crew) — this is the efficiency incentive.
Crewsplit's pay methods today are revenue split, sq ft rate, per-role %, and per-tier % — there's no dedicated "base hourly + % of job" pay method with one setting. You can get the same result by entering an hourly base as a flat rate and a revenue-split percentage for the same pay period, but it takes two entries instead of one built-in calculation.
| How you pay today | Crewsplit today | Fit |
|---|---|---|
| Base hourly + % of job revenue | Hourly flat rate + revenue split, entered separately | Workaround |
| Higher % for team lead vs. rest of crew | Per-role or per-tier % | Good fit |
| FLSA overtime on top of base + commission | Automatic regular-rate calculation | Good fit |
