For cleaners

You work when the building is empty, which is when everyone else is asleep

Commercial cleaning happens either before a building opens or after it closes, which puts the work at both ends of the day and often both in the same day. Many people hold contracts at more than one site, so the week is assembled from several schedules that nobody sees together.

The schedules this actually has to cope with

Freeish is built around these, not around a nine-to-five with the occasional exception.

Very early starts

In at four or five so the building is ready. The evening before is effectively part of the shift.

Late finishes

Starting after the offices empty and finishing well into the night.

Split across sites

An early at one contract and a late at another, with travel between them and unpaid hours in the middle.

Short contracts stacked

Several two-hour contracts making up a week, each with its own start time and its own commute.

What it sounds like at home

“A four o’clock start means I am asleep by eight and nobody plans for that.”
“I work two contracts and my family only ever sees one of them.”
“The gap between an early and a late is not free time, and it looks like it.”
“Travel between sites is unpaid and invisible to everyone.”
“Nobody at home can tell which site I am at or when I am back.”

Where Freeish fits

Every contract in one view, so the people at home see the whole week rather than part of it.

The gap between an early and a late shows as unavailable, because it is.

Early nights before an early start can be visible, so they are expected rather than explained.

Which site you are at is yours to share or leave out; the times are what matters at home.

One week, start to finish

Marta, commercial cleaning

Marta holds two contracts and puts both weeks in one place.
Her daughter can see the combined week rather than half of it.
The travel gap between sites shows as taken rather than free.
An eight o’clock bedtime before a four o’clock start is on the calendar.
A picked-up cover shift is one addition and no messages.

Questions cleaners ask

Can I combine two employers in one place?

Yes — they are all just events. The people following you see one week rather than two schedules to reconcile.

Will either employer see this?

No. There is no connection to any employer system.

Can I show the travel between sites?

Add it as an event. It is unpaid and invisible otherwise, and it is a real part of the day.
