Know when jobs start and finish

From the job in their crew app: one tap on Check in when they arrive and one tap on Check out when they're done. Each cleaner checks in for themselves, so a crew of two gives you two sets of hours.

No. There's no GPS tracking, before, during or after the job. You see the time each cleaner checked in and checked out at a job, and that's all. It's the record you need for pay and for the customer, without following anyone around town.

An email that their cleaners have arrived, sent when the crew checks in. It saves the "are they there yet?" call, especially from landlords, property managers and customers who are at work.

Every check-in and check-out becomes hours on that cleaner's week, job by job, and those hours feed the next pay run in cleaner pay. Nobody fills in a timesheet from memory on Friday.

You'll see it, because the day's jobs show who has checked in and who hasn't. A job that started at 9 with no check-in by 9:20 is your cue to call, before the customer does.

In Ontario, employers with 25 or more employees on January 1 need a written policy on electronic monitoring, and the province's guide gives GPS tracking as an example (ontario.ca, updated July 8, 2024). More Knocks doesn't track location, but your other tools might. Other provinces have their own rules, and Ontario's covers employees, so ask an employment lawyer how it applies to your team.
