Best Payroll for Cleaning Companies in 2026

By MyCo · Published May 20, 2026
Cleaning businesses run on hourly crews across many sites. Here's what to look for in payroll — and our top pick.

The cleaning-company payroll challenge

Cleaning businesses manage hourly crews spread across client sites, often on early-morning or overnight shifts and sometimes across state lines. Manual timesheets and buddy-punching hit cleaning margins especially hard.

Must-have payroll features

Prioritize GPS- or face-scan-verified clock-ins at each site, automatic overtime, multi-state filing, and the ability to pay hourly crews, salaried supervisors, and 1099 subs in one run.

Why MyCo fits cleaning companies
