To give £100 Xmas bonus to cleaner

[AlorMy]

Usually pay her £25 a week.

She’s been cleaning my home about 8 months so first Xmas.

I’m thinking of £100. Is that too much? Not enough?

YABU = too little
YANBU = anything else (just right/too much)

As a cleaner - that would make my Christmas. Especially if, like me, I am not needed over the Christmas period it would help massively.
Thank you op on behalf of cleaners everywhere :)

Wow, sounds like she deserves a bonus

That's a lot. I'm a cleaner and usually get a bottle of wine or a box of chocolates .

Wow £100 would be fab but if you are stretching yourself anything extra is fab .i usually get a bit extra , £20 here and there a bottle of wine , box of chocolate.. to be honest anything is appreciated. Some don’t do anything and that’s fine as well .. I don’t expect it . I give a little something to some of mine as well .. chocolate and fun gifts for the groups of lads I clean for ..

£100 is what I give which is equivalent to what I pay per week.

I give a week’s pay as a bonus

If she does a good job and you can afford it then that's lovely. YANBU!

YANBU! I've been a cleaner and this'd be great. How many hours is she doing btw? The minimum wage is about £10 now- is she only doing 2.5 hours? Honestly seems unlikely, in which case she is being illegally underpaid. The average is say, 3 hours once a week. That'd be about £30. I reckon you owe her that money tbh, if not more.

I gave my cleaner a £30 voucher for Next. She comes twice every week and I pay her £60. I think £100 is too much, also if you give her cash and she’s self employed she should really declare it as taxable income.

If you can afford it,it’s a great amount I’m sure she’ll appreciate it

I was assuming 2.5 hours too.

You should give her a week’s wages anyway and then a decent present on top.

Too much

I cleaned for a neighbour/friend for 3 years never got a bean for Christmas - your cleaner is lucky!

Can i be your cleaner? PS i can also do DIY and a plethora of other tasks.

I think you are being very generous. If you are pleased with her cleaning then she will be over the moon. She obviously doesn’t earn a lot so this would make her xmas extra special. Well done you and merry Christmas

If she’s self-employed the minimum wage doesn’t apply.

Blimey! Mine gets a box of quality street and a bottle of wine

If she’s self-employed the minimum wage doesn’t apply.

Morally it does. Shouldn’t be paying a cleaner less than £10 per hr.

I was going to give a small gift and many £10

I have 2 cleaners and I gave both £20. I am sure your cleaner would be happy with £100 if you can spare it!

Thats super generous, id be delighted and probably cry if i had that as a gift. Normal gifts most years include chocolates alone, chocolates and wine, chocolates And wine And a weeks bonus or gift vouchers. Its all appreciated very much, as are nice cards with heartfelt messages.

Good cleaners are worth their weight in gold. We give a bonus of about that amount. She has been working for us for ten years. I love her a little bit. YANBU.

there's no such thing as too much, if you can afford it do it

If you can afford it, it's fine. It would be very much appreciated I'm sure.

I’m giving £50, which is a week’s pay, and some chocolates. I’ve only had her since September but she’s pretty good and I’d be miserable without her!
