The majority of our fleet are hybrid vehicles, and we’ll continue to expand our hybrid fleet to help ensure a greener future for our community. Our vehicles travel throughout the entire Washington, D.C. metropolitan area on any given workday managing their job sites. We track each and every vehicle via GPS so that we’re able to monitor the activity of our supervisors.

Clean Advantage Corporation has taken many actions to address COVID-19. We ensure our employees are working in safe environments and assist that they keep the buildings in which they work disinfected. Our employees are required to wear face masks or face covering, and gloves at all times, no exceptions. We encourage social distancing and prohibit employees from reporting for work if they have experienced flu-like symptoms and/or a fever of 100.4 or higher. We have been working very closely with our employees to make sure they remain healthy and are following the new procedures we have put in place.

If an employee tests positive for Covid-19 or is exposed and/or the property requests our employee to quarantine (for up to 14-day), Clean Advantage Corporation will pay up to a maximum of 80 hours at our employee’s hourly rate or use their sick leave for their absence. Clean Advantage Corporation will have a temporary employee on the property to accommodate the absence of the regular employee until the quarantine period is over and/or we receive their negative COVID-19 test results.

We can help you navigate the difficult period while legacy staff retire from years of in house service, and you need to efficiently onboard new team members. This transition can be difficult for scheduling purposes, take time to get new people trained effectively, and needs to ensure there is no gap in service at the property itself. 

Clean Advantage will take on the burden of managing staff and schedules by hiring your existing team as our own. With the help of mentor employees and modernization training, we ensure a consistent level of performance for all team members. While your legacy staff look toward retirement, we will look for new people in the workforce who will make long-term employees. We’ll relieve you of the headache of payroll, insurance, paperwork and day-to-day supervision of the team.
