Honoring earnings
Honoring a balance records that a member has been compensated. No money moves through FreshChores — it’s a tracking system.
When household members complete tasks with earnings, those earnings accumulate in their balance. Honoring a balance means recording that the member has been compensated — whether that’s cash, a transfer, allowance credit, or anything else your household uses.
FreshChores does not transfer money. It tracks what’s been earned and what’s been settled.
To honor a member’s balance:
- Go to Settings → Household → Overview
- Tap the member with an outstanding balance
- Open their Balance, then tap Settle balance
- Optionally add a note (e.g., “Paid cash”)
- Confirm the amount
The member’s balance is reduced by the honored amount, and a permanent settlement record is created. Past settlements are listed beside the Settle balance button once there are any, and under Settings → Household → Earnings settlements for the household as a whole.
Note
Only owners and managers can honor balances. Members can see their own balance and settlement history from Settings → Household → My balance.
