Our arrangement with our cleaners have always been that if we cancel them we pay, if they cancel, we don't.

Law of supply and demand.?

Round here cleaners are like gold dust. She gets £12 an hour but how much do you need to pay to keep her is the question really.

Think you've answered your own question here. Do remember, though, you will be setting a precedent and not to forget in the future.

I’ve had a cleaner for a few months and feel like a filthy capitalist but I know she needs the money. Our agreement was £12 for an hour’s work but I actually pay £15 every week and she does an extra half hour on alternate weeks.
She’s having a fortnight off and I don’t know what’s usual. Should I pay her for the two weeks she will miss? I think I should, I’ve known her for years and value her work but £12 per hour is more than I was ever paid.
