## Payroll errors are small, frequent, and corrosive

A few minutes miscounted here, an overtime rate applied wrong there — payroll mistakes are rarely huge, but they’re frequent, and every one erodes trust with the crew or leaks money you can’t afford. Doing it by hand in a spreadsheet at 11pm on payday is how those errors happen.

This page gives you both halves: a **free calculator** that turns clock-ins into accurate pay — regular hours, overtime, and breaks totalled for you — and a **short guide** to the time and payroll rules that keep it clean and disputes rare.

Built for commercial cleaning. Your timecards stay in your browser — nothing is uploaded.

## The guide to accurate time and pay

Clean payroll is mostly consistency: the same rules applied the same way, every period. Here’s what matters.

### The rules that decide the number

- **Overtime** — know your threshold (commonly over 40 hours a week) and the multiplier, and apply it consistently. Guessing overtime is how you overpay or underpay.
- **Breaks** — paid vs. unpaid, and how they’re deducted, decided the same way for everyone.
- **Rounding** — pick a rule (to the nearest quarter-hour, say) and stick to it; inconsistent rounding is where "you shorted me" starts.

The calculator applies these so the total is right and repeatable, not a fresh judgment call every week.

### Habits that prevent disputes

- **Total from real clock-ins, not memory.** "About eight hours" is how disputes are born.
- **Keep the math visible.** When a cleaner can see regular, overtime, and breaks broken out, the number defends itself.
- **Be consistent across the crew.** The same rules for everyone is what makes payroll feel fair.
- **Keep a record.** A saved, exportable timecard settles a question in seconds.

From the field "I used to eyeball overtime and round in my head. Every couple of weeks someone would flag a number and I’d have no way to check. Running every timecard the same way ended the arguments — and I found I’d been quietly overpaying on overtime for months." Owner-operator, commercial janitorial

- closeDo payroll by hand at 11pm on payday

## Accurate pay starts with accurate time

A calculator is only as good as the hours you feed it. Swept captures those hours at the source — location-verified clock-ins your crew can’t fudge and you don’t have to chase — so payroll starts from real time, not a text at the end of the week.

Good to know

## Frequently asked questions

Does it handle overtime and breaks?expand\_more

Yes — enter the hours and your rules, and it totals regular time, overtime, and break deductions into gross pay automatically.

Can I save or export a timecard?expand\_more

Yes — keep a record you can export, so a question about a past period is settled in seconds.

Where is my payroll data stored?expand\_more

Locally, in your browser. It never leaves your device. Clearing your browser data removes it, so export anything you need to keep.

Is this a substitute for a payroll provider?expand\_more

It’s a fast, accurate way to calculate hours and gross pay — a great check and a great tool for small crews. It doesn’t file taxes; pair it with your payroll process for that.

Is it really free?expand\_more

Yes — no signup, no email. The calculator runs entirely on this page, one of a suite of free tools Swept builds for cleaning businesses.
