I hire a cleaner once a fortnight.

Huh? You’re paying for her time. If you want the floors done she will need to leave another task or you can employ her for longer

You pay for the time not the tasks. However, if she is no longer doing the job to the standard you would like and it's likely to be a long term thing, it's probably time to look for another cleaner.

If she is still there for the full 2 hours and doing cleaning, then of course you still need to pay the full rate.

You can still have a conversation with her about whether this will be a permanent problem and try to come up with a solution/reasonable adjustment.

Tricky...if she's done 2 hours that's 2 hours pay. Maybe find a new cleaner who can do the whole job

Did she spend the time cleaning something else instead. You are paying for her time. Thst said, if she can't clean the floors she's not doing a whole clean so I'd start looking for a new cleaner.

Sadly I would look for another cleaner if she can't do what your employing her to do.
