Having done over 200 first cleans since the spring, I am considering renumeration options for my team when it comes to first cleans.
At the moment they rarely do first cleans. Their work is 12 or six weekly maintenance cleans and I pay them 30% of what they bill every day OR minimum wage.
On the days they do first cleans, I currently pay them a day rate, which =
30% of what they bill daily on average.
So, in other words, for days when they are doing first cleans, they get the average of what they bill daily (times by 30%)
The problem with this is that it doesn't really incentive them to 'hit the turbos' when it comes to first cleans. I can do 4 -6 first cleans per day, but they only just manage three.
So, for days they do first cleans, I'm thinking about paying them 50% of what they bill....
So, if they do 5 £30 first cleans, they get 5x£30 = £150 x 0,5 = £75.

3 first cleans a day?
You need new staff first of all.

whay all the faff
just pay them an hourly rate
talk about complicating things.
surely they are doing the same amount of work whether its a first clean or maintenance clean, they just take twice as long so you will have half the turnover.
you cant "turbo" a first clean, they take as long as they take to do a perect job, same as a maintenance clean, you cant do it any faster than the fastest it can be done to do a good job.

I'd do first cleans myself.

I've re read this a few times, i don't understand what you're saying. Maybe something is getting lost in the terminology...... "what they bill " ? How does an employee bill you ? I don't understand. In any case you seem to be saying you are currently paying 30% and because they are going slow you are going to up it to 50% ? ???

30% wow that's low do you supply all tools sounds like you need to employ if you do?
