Summary
This article explains how business owners and cleaning business operators can set up a flat rate salary in ZenMaid payroll. The steps are the same whether you are configuring your own salary as the owner or setting up a fixed recurring payment for a cleaner.
Configuring the Pay Rate
Step 1
Log in to your ZenMaid Dashboard.
Go to Cleaners > All Cleaners.
Click the name of the owner or cleaner you want to configure.
Select Actions and click Edit.
Expand the Pay Rate and Job Estimate section.
Under Pay Type, select Flat Rate.
In Pay Rate, enter the amount you want to receive each time you run payroll.
Click Save.
Setting Up a Recurring Placeholder Appointment
Important
This appointment is only a placeholder used to trigger payroll calculations. It does not need to represent a real cleaning job.
Create a fake client in your ZenMaid account.
Create an appointment and assign it to the owner or cleaner.
Set the recurrence to match your payroll schedule: weekly if you run payroll weekly, or monthly if you run payroll monthly.
Side Note
Once this is set up, every time you run payroll in ZenMaid, the flat rate salary will be included in the calculation automatically for whoever the appointment is assigned to.
