Time off, pausing your account, and leaving

Book time off in the Schedule tab, pause your account from your Profile, and give us notice so your regular customers are looked after.

Updated Sep 2, 2026

Holidays and time off

Go to Schedule → Request Time Off and add the dates. We won't offer you jobs on those days and we'll arrange cover for your recurring customers.

  • Give at least 2 weeks' notice for holidays so we can cover your regulars.

  • Breaks of up to 2 weeks: your recurring customers are kept for you.

  • Longer breaks: we may need to offer your regulars to another cleaner, and you'll rebuild your schedule when you're back.

Changing your hours

Schedule → Edit Hours. Changes take effect from the date shown so existing bookings aren't affected. Need something sooner? Call 1300 009 363.

Pausing your account

Taking a longer break? On your Profile under Account Status you can pause for 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months or indefinitely, and resume any time. Paused accounts don't receive offers.

Sick or emergency

Withdraw in the app as soon as you know (see Can't make a job you accepted). Inside 24 hours, call 1300 009 363.

Leaving Simply Maid

We'll miss you. Please give 4 weeks' notice by calling or emailing hello@simplymaid.com.au so we can move your recurring customers to another cleaner — then use Cancel account on your Profile. Any pay owed is paid in the normal Thursday cycle.
