HR for Cleaning businesses
Runs onboarding, tracks every cert and PTO balance, and keeps reviews on schedule — with the sensitive, legal-exposure items always paused for you.
How cleaning shops run the numbers
- Typical labor rate: $45/hr
- Material markup: 20%
- Target margin: 45%
- Minimum job: $100
Industry ballparks — Automic Trades pre-fills these for your cleaning shop, then tunes to your books.
What the HR does
- Tracks post-hire onboarding milestones — orientation, equipment, direct-deposit, benefits — and surfaces due-today / due-this-week cards
- Keeps a per-pro registry of certifications and training (EPA RRP, OSHA 10/30, NATE, trade-specific) and flags gaps and upcoming expiries
- Computes PTO accrual and routes each request to you to approve or deny with a balance-impact note
- Drafts — never sends — review templates, handbook-acknowledgment requests, and exit-interview sets for your review
- Intakes complaints with minimal facts and escalates to you immediately at high severity — no investigation, no credibility call, no determination
Why it helps cleaning owners
Missing a probation check-in lets a hire flame out without intervention; a missed cert renewal is a job-site OSHA citation; a botched termination or unanswered unemployment claim is the expensive kind of mistake. HR keeps the record straight and keeps the legal-exposure calls on your desk, not the system's.
