I am trying to comunicate with an employee what needs to be done and how long it should take.

Bosnian translation:pocisti, zavrsi posao za 30 minuta i to je to
Explanation:
this is the answer if I assume that by "touch up clean" you mean give finishing touches, and by "take 30 minutes" you mean take 30 minutes to do the job, not rest for 30 minutes like the above answer.

agree  BUZOV: Yes ... maybe without "retuširaj" if dealing with the apartement cleaning before moving in ... just : "počisti, sačekaj 30 minuta, i to je to " ...

Explanation:
I assume that there has been misunderstanding here. As I understood your question, you want your employee to just sweep the apartment roughly, not to clean every spoon spot etc. Is he working as a painter or mover ...?
