How do you determine when your team can take PTO when you have a large team?
Current policy: Submit PTO 6-8 weeks in advance for approval. Those with seniority get first pick for their PTO. Use your 2 weeks PTO for the year, or you lose it. What would you add or take away from this policy?20Views1like2CommentsHow do you determine when your team can take PTO when you have a large team?

Hi, Residentail cleaning business here. Looking to hire my first part-time W2 employee. I have asked this before, but I would like advice from people who are in my state, so the advice can match NC laws, ideas, and cost of living. I want to get some advice from other cleaning business owners who have specifically hired W2 employees in North Carolina. This Jobber community is so large but each state is different when it comes to compensation for their employees. I am interested in knowing the following: *Pay Rate per hour(range) *Travel Time Rate per hour(range) I think I will just do the IRS mileage Rate, unless someone in NC has another idea that is cost efficient over mileage pay. For the employee driving there own personal vehicle for work. When I hire the part-time employee they will need to drive their own personal vehicle after training. Thank you!24Views0likes1CommentHow did you know it was time to hire your first salesperson?

Hi Everyone, I have a question about how you handle weekend work? We are in Calgary, Alberta, Canada and we are a residential cleaning company. After 8 hours of work per day we need to pay overtime and our team members and also on the weekends. We do get request for jobs on the weekend. How do you handle this? Do you hire only for weekends or part time staff for this? Do you raise your price for the weekend to compensate for over time? Do you have on call and rotate your team members? Any wisdom or ideas are welcome. :)Solved114Views3likes4Comments
