Are there extra fees per employee?

No. DetailerMade does not charge per-seat fees today—you can add employees without changing your subscription price.

Does DetailerMade file taxes or direct deposit?

No. Payroll in the app calculates and tracks what you owe your team. Tax filing and paying your team are still handled outside the platform.

What if someone is salaried, not hourly?

Two pay types are supported today: hourly (from logged time) and job-percentage (a cut of the jobs they worked). A fixed salary regardless of hours or jobs isn't available yet.

Pay Your Crew Without the Sunday Night Spreadsheet

You didn't start a detailing business to reconcile hours in Excel. Payroll pulls from logged time and employee rates so you can pay your team and get back to work.

What this proves

Outcomes detailers care about—not a feature dump.

Faster pay runs

Hours are already in the system from time logging—no re-entering from group chats.

Fewer disputes

Job-linked hours give you and your crew a shared source of truth.

Scale with your team

As you add employees, payroll stays in the same app as scheduling and jobs.

Approving a pay period locks its time entries and jobs from further edits, so the numbers you paid from can't change after the fact.

What's enforced

Not optional—here's what payroll holds your team to.

How it works

A simple flow from setup to day-to-day use.

Set employee rates

Configure an hourly rate or a job-percentage rate when you add employees to your business—rate changes keep a history.

Log time through the week

Crew hours accumulate on jobs via time logging as work happens.

Review and run payroll

Adjust for bonuses or deductions, approve the run, and export it—approving locks that period's hours and jobs from further edits.
