How do you help employees collect tips?
We run a cleaning company, and in our industry, tips are a regular occurrence. However, Jobber doesn't support tip collection on the mobile app or on an emailed invoice. Tips can only be collected from a credit card payment in the client hub. Consequently, our staff rarely get tips. Are any of you using other software to assist in tip collection for your employees? Any ideas on how to overcome this issue?How should cleaning businesses pay and structure their first part-time employee?
Hi, I am moving into the phase where I would like to hire anvemployee. I want to start with one person part-time. I am confused on what is right or wrong with my plans. I would like to explain how I want to handle hiring. Then I want to ask for input from this community where I need to make changes or keep my plan: I am looking to hire one part time employee. They will need to drive their own vehicle at some point once they are out of training and on their own. Until then they will be riding with me. When they are in house cleaning they will get there hourly rate and I will set that based on performace and skills. When they are traveling between homes they will be paid at an hourly rate at the minimum wage rate. They will not get mileage reinbursement because they are riding with me and I will be driving. Is this okay or how are others are doing it? Any input or suggesting are greatly appreciated! Thanks!How do you balance kindness and strict standards as a business owner?

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.
