Turn completed valet trash routes into payroll-ready totals
Set route rates once, handle day-specific pay and one-off overrides from the schedule, then review, finalize, and export each pay period—without rebuilding the night in a spreadsheet.
Set the pay rule where the work is defined
Every route carries its own base rate, optional day-of-week overrides, and weekly budget. Configure compensation beside the route schedule so the pay rule matches the work before the first porter is assigned.
- A clear base rate for each route
- Different rates for specific service days
- Projected spend against a weekly budget
- Missing-rate warnings before payroll
Handle one-night changes from the schedule
When someone calls out, assign coverage and set a one-night incentive without leaving the schedule. That assignment-level override follows the completed route into payroll and takes priority over the normal route or day rate.
- Weekly staffing across every route
- Fast coverage for last-minute callouts
- One-off custom rates for a single assignment
- Rate context visible while scheduling
Review every dollar before export
Completed routes roll into a draft pay period with porter totals and route-level detail. Expand any porter, verify the effective rate, add a pay-coded adjustment, then finalize and download a detailed XLSX for your payroll workflow.
- Porter-by-porter route and pay totals
- Base, day, and assignment-rate context
- Bonuses, deductions, and pay-code adjustments
- Draft, finalized, and closed period controls
Team nights split themselves
When several porters work one route, night pay splits evenly between the porters who start. Set an exact amount for anyone, like a smaller set amount while a new hire learns, and the rest splits between the others. Each porter’s pay period shows their share and why.
- Even split between the porters who start
- An exact amount for anyone, when you need it
- Each porter’s share explained in the pay period
- A paid cancelled night splits across the scheduled crew

Porter payroll questions
Pay rules live where the work is defined: route-based rates, day-of-week overrides, and one-off assignment rates for a single night of coverage.
Yes. Review every dollar — with missing-rate warnings, adjustments, and pay codes — before anything is exported.
Yes. Each pay period downloads as a detailed Excel file, with employee IDs so every row matches your payroll provider.
Night pay splits evenly between the porters who start. Set an exact amount for anyone who should be paid differently, like a smaller set amount while a new hire learns, and the others who started split the rest. Each porter’s breakdown shows their share and why.
Yes, when you choose to. Cancelling a night asks whether to pay the porter, and a Cancellation Pay line at the route’s rate goes into the pay period. On a team night it splits across everyone scheduled.
