Are you paying your cleaner during lockdown?

You’re in a difficult position if you’re not receiving an income yourself. flowers I guess if you can top her up, it would be a nice thing to do, but if she is able to claim 80% at least that’s something.

I’m still paying my cleaner but our income isn’t affected because Dh is retired. She’ll probably want to ‘repay’ me when this is all over by doing some extra bits and bobs, too.

PamelaJ1, if your cleaner is normally in regular employment with yourself then I would make up the shortfall of 20%.

There is an article in the paper about cleaners who can’t work and aren’t being paid at all.

I’ve talked to mine about this and I am not paying her, perhaps I should? She is self employed and declares everything she earns and pays tax and NI. I am also self employed, am earning nothing and am not sure if I qualify for the 80% because I am a Ltd. company.
She says she will get the 80% and is fine.

I am in a much better position than her to weather this storm and after reading the article am feeling very guilty.
I think I will pay her the 20% she won’t be getting, does that seem fair?
