How to pay vacation rental cleaners (fairly, accurately, and on time) | Breezeway Academy

How you pay your cleaners has a bigger impact on your operation than most property managers realize. Unclear, delayed, or inconsistent pay leads to disputes, low morale, and high turnover. Get it right, and you build the kind of trust and stability that keeps great cleaners around. In this video, Koryn Okey, VP of Community and Engagement at Breezeway, breaks down how to build a cleaner payment structure that's fair, transparent, and tied directly to verified work. What you'll learn: • The two primary pay models — hourly vs. per-clean (piece-rate) — including the real pros and cons of each and how to choose the right one for your operation • Why many operators use a combination of both, starting cleaners on hourly pay and transitioning to per-clean once they're fully trained • How to structure pay timing — per clean, weekly, or bi-weekly — and why consistency matters more than frequency • How to connect completed, verified work directly to payment so disputes and back-and-forth questions disappear • How Breezeway ties task completion and documentation directly to cleaner payments — replacing spreadsheets and manual reconciliation Cleaner pay isn't just a financial decision. It's an operational one — and this video gives you the framework to get it right. __________________________________ Learn more about Breezeway's property operations and experience platform: https://www.breezeway.io/demo   / breezeway     / breezeway.io     / heybreezeway     / heybreezeway
