Choose from the following options:

• None - The first employee to check in registers time for all employees assigned to the task.
• Split task at first check-in - The task is automatically split at first check-in and the remaining employees have the option to check in separately. Please note that this generates one task per employee.
• Remove remaining employees at first check-in - At check-in, all employees are removed from the task except the employee doing the check-in.

You can select from a list of existing cleaning types.

For more information on how to create a cleaning type, see the following user guide: Creating cleaning types.

Set the earliest start time for the task - that is, when your employees are allowed to start the job.

The end time can either be generated automatically based on total working hours, or set manually by ticking the box next to Latest end time to open up the field.

For more information on how to set a preset start and end time on tasks, see the following user guide: Manage times.

Set the Working hours in total

You need to fill in Working hours in total with the total amount of time all employees should spend on the task.

• Is the task assigned to two employees who are scheduled to work 1 hour each? Then the Working hours in total should be set to 2 hours.
• Do you have three employees who each have to work for 30 minutes? Then the Working hours in total should be set to 1:30 (0:30 x 3).

Think of it like this:

• Number of employees x Time per employee = Working hours in total.

Remember: Multiply the time if there are more people assigned to the task.

The Break per employee field is used to specify how long a break each employee should have during the task. Please note that this break is added to the total working time. However, it is not included in the time you enter in the field Working hours in total.

An example could be:

• If you have set Working hours in total to 1:00, and you enter a break of 0:15, the employee's total time spent will be 1:15. Only the Working hours in total of the 1:00 hour will be eligible for payroll.

Set the Transport per employee

The Transport per employee field is used to log the mileage and/or duration of driving associated with the task - for example, from their home to the customer's address or between locations. If left blank, the employee will be able to log their transportation in the app when they check in and out of a task. This requires the employee to have access to CleanManager.

• The registered mileage can be used as a basis for mileage reimbursement during payroll.
• This ensures correct and documented reimbursement for transport expenses.

Fill in the Price of the task

Here, you can enter a price for this specific task. Please note that this is a task-based price, not an hourly rate. This field is optional.

When you create a task, you can set a recurrence pattern so that it is automatically created at scheduled intervals. In CleanManager, you can choose between four main types of recurrence patterns:

• Daily - the task is repeated every day or a fixed number of days apart.
• Weekly - the task is repeated on one or more fixed days of the week, e.g. every Monday and Thursday.
• Monthly - the task is repeated once a month, e.g. on the 1st or last working day.
• Yearly - perfect for low-frequency tasks, e.g. annual deep cleaning.

Select Never if you do not want the task to be repeated.

You can set up an alert for a task that will be triggered if employees do not check in or check out as planned.

You can receive the alert by one of the following methods:

• Only in the system (Daily tasks).
• By e-mail.
• By text message.
• By e-mail and text message.

Read more about the settings for alerts in the following user guide: Alarm settings.

If needed, a more detailed description of the task or other relevant information for employees can be entered here.

It is also possible to make the note visible to customers with access. For more information on this option, see the following user guide: Display notes on tasks in the calendar for customers with login.
