We are an Ethical Employer Paying Ethical Wages

We employ all staff on Wages, not forcing them to use an ABN.  The current award is $26.03.  We  have to pay staff to and from jobs both in time and Kilometers at 78c per KM to get to your home if from another site.

So on every 2hr job the staff payrate is $26.03 per hour, plus on average 10 mins travel ($4.33) and KMs average 7kms ($5.46) This increases the cost of each employee hour to $35.85.  Then allow for Super 9.5% ($3.40), Qleave at 2%(71c) and Workcover at 2.11%(75c).  The final total is $40.68.  So at the price $49.50 per hour inc Gst, the gross profit is $3.87 per hour.

Our gross profit of $3.87 per hour needs to cover washing rags, chemicals and $400 kits, shed hire, office admin wages, staff vehicles, website costs, telephone and internet fees, inductions, police checks, fuel, public liability insurance, licenses, uniforms, mistakes, bank fees, merchant fees, accounting fees, promo deals, office supplies and equipment etc. The list goes on….and on…

It is important to differentiate between a fully bonded tax paying company and your local “cash cleaner” who entails very few of the expenses above and is likely committing tax and Centrelink fraud.  If you allow a cash cleaner into your home you may be liable to backpay  superannuation in the future and you will not be insured if there are damages fixtures and fittings.
