I'd say it's more unethical not to employ a cleaner if you can afford to do so, same with painters and decorators.

We wanted to employ a cleaner. We were going to pay £12 per hour, which I hope is viewed as a reasonable wage. We booked a time for her to come and discuss it. She never showed -- never even phoned to leave a message or anything. My mum reckoned that she took one look through our window, thought "fuck that" and fucked off.

We pay £12ph for a cleaner in Exeter.
£10 an hour for a 35 hour a week desk job is different to £10 an hour for domestic cleaning. Firstly you have to travel to and from each job - and you have to work hard for those hours you get paid. No way could you get 7 hours of paid cleaning work a day doing domestic work.
Not to mention that most desk jobs are spent surfing the internet, staring into space, nattering to others.

We wuz only funnin', and getting nostaligic for previous 'I need a cleaner/Is it Ok for me to hire a cleaner' type thread barneys of yore.
Having said that, if you'd put this up in General you'd have had the righteous squad telling you how you're oppressing a mass, or something...

Why does everybody keep quoting what they earn per hour as if it is outrageous that a cleaner should earn a similar amount? Particularly given the fact that AS ALREADY STATED MANY TIMES IN THIS THREAD, they aren't remotely comparing like with like?
You may earn £10 per hour too, but I bet you get paid holidays, a contribution to a pension fund and life insurance with that too. And I bet you get it for a solid 7 hours rather than having to travel between jobs during the day and not getting paid during that travel time.

Yeah but you only have to travel to one location, and sit at a desk all day do odd bits of work between posting on urban

I don't think anyone's said or implied it's an outrageous amount - just that the 2 cleaners I've had in home we paid about £10 a hour for is all...

If you're gonna hire a cleaner, it should be through a company that does PAYE and benefits and such. Otherwise you're just exploiting people
Are you cutting and pasting from previous threads?

You were offering her too much. Everyone knows if you want to get work out of the proles you have to reduce wages.

That's it alright. £6 per hour it is then.

How does it help them by helping them avoid tax and NI?
It basically puts them in the shit conditions of not having the benefits as other employed people. Holidays, pension etc etc...

Probably, yeah. Which is why we were trying to go with a proper business, like I said.
