Is your house cleaner getting paid to travel to your home?

Read an interesting article last month in the Washington Post:

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/storyline/wp/2014/09/10/at-the-uber-for-home-cleaning-workers-pay-a-price-for-convenience/

Some questions that come to mind:

1. Who is really cleaning your house?

2. Are they receiving a fair wage - we pay our team leaders and team members all of the drive time they are in our company vehicles!

3. Are they using professional products? Can a suitcase hold all of the professional products, including professional vacuum cleaners to clean your home thoroughly?

4. Who is really cleaning your house? Okay, I already asked that question, but it is an important consideration. These people are around your valuables. Call our office, speak with a human, ask us questions. Our employees go through background checks, drug tests, etc.

5. Have they been properly trained? These businesses shouldn't have to train independent contractors, according to the IRS and many state labor boards. Independent contractors should be able to begin immediately, producing work that they've been hired for. If a worker requires significant training, he or she may be considered employees.

Some food for thought.

At the end of the day, I ask you if those "contractors" share our corporate values:

Positive, Honest, Efficient, Consistent and Reliable

Warm Regards,
