To not pay our cleaner?

Our cleaner has just had a well deserved holiday to a place that requires quarantine on return. This has been re arranged from earlier in the year. She had a full refund so it was her choice to go now. I say well deserved as she has had a pretty rough 12 months.

Our normal arrangement is we pay her when we go away etc but not when she has time off. We paid her in full all through lockdown and she re paid a few weeks when she got the self employed grant. We get on well and everything is amicable

She has not mentioned quarantine - she seems very relaxed about Covid. We will enforce it if she doesn’t it though. My question is should we pay her? DH is firmly a no that it was her choice to go and it is part of her “holiday” I am a bit more unsure possibly because I know her better.

What do people think? AIBU if I don’t pay her?

I have just spoken to her. It would seem she isn’t strictly quarantining and she offered to come. I said no and we agreed her return date. No mention of money from either side! All still amicable! Thanks everyone
