If you have a cleaner what do you usually do

[Wolverine23]

For payments? Would you Pay them after every clean within days? Straight away usually? Also, if you needed constant reminding would you set up a standing order given that it can be flexible? Last minute cancellation maybe on both sides sometimes

is leaving to 2-3 weeks without paying acceptable?

Just clean up after yourself.

I leave cash on the dining table , have done so for 6 years and only forgotten once , I bank transferred her the same day!

Are you not embarrassed that you have someone to clean up after you?

I pay mine monthly, DD straight into her account

Pay in online banking on the day, as soon as possible basically

I leave cash on the day. Its a pain to remember but as she's slightly flakey I can't set up a SO or anything

Nope . Why would anyone be embarrassed ?
I work hard for my money and absolutely hate cleaning , how I see it is I’m paying for a service that’s they’re offering . She’s earning a living same as me , just in a different way .
Do you say the same to people who online shop their groceries and have them delivered or put their children in childcare ? All services to make our busy lives easier .

When we had a cleaner, I would pay by bank transfer on completion, so always on the day.
if I was home it would be within 30 mins of her leaving, if I was out, it would be when I returned home.

definitely never longer than 24 after completion - that would go for any tradesperson, unless I was waiting for them to send an invoice

On the day.

Cash left out on the day. Not the kind of thing I'd pay for after the fact

Presumably you are the cleaner.

is leaving to 2-3 weeks without paying acceptable?

No.
We pay on the day...if something weird happens it miggt je the day after maybe two but that would be unusual / an exception.

Cash on the day. Always. I’ve never cancelled. Had one cleaner who was unreliable which was very annoying but she was a fantastic cleaner (hotel trained). She missed one week then I never saw her again!

Bank transfer after she’s left. She messages me to tell me how many hours she’s done and I transfer as soon as I read her message.
