Self-employed cleaning contracts

Question

Should I draw up a contract or agreement with my self-employed cleaner to avoid any problems?

Benjamin · Accepted Answer

Contracts are fundamental to most working relationships. They state, without doubt, the obligation of all parties involved and protect all parties should there be a failure to fulfil an obligation. 

It’s never a bad idea to adopt one. In this instance it can include rate of pay, hours of attendance, responsibilities for products equipment etc, damage to property and the like.

Jacob · Answer

If your cleaner is self employed that means they are responsible for pay their own tax and national insurance.  They are not employed by you so they don't need a contract.

A contract is good because it sets clear boundaries for everyone. Working on mutual understanding can be costly to the business or customer if terms and conditions are not clear.

However an agreement in writing may avoid problems that were not discussed upfront.

Hiring someone to clean your home is a big deal. You’re not simply letting a stranger into your personal space. You’re trusting them with your safety, comfort, and one of the most important aspects of your wellbeing – cleanliness.

You may not think cleanliness is essential to your life, but studies show otherwise. However, while cleaning is important, it’s also time-consuming. Like a starving beast feasting on our leisure one minute at a time.

So cleaning is usually among the first household chores to get outsourced. Yet are you choosing the right person or company for the job? Are you asking the right questions before you make up your mind or do you simply go with the lowest bidder? If you’re not sure, then you’ve come to the right place.
