[quote=Anonymous]Ok, so she's right. You hired her for cleaning which is a 1099 job. She gets to set her own hours. Then you asked for extra help. Do you provide a W2 for that work? If you want to have someone commit to a schedule and not back out of it last minute, you need to provide guaranteed hours and sick/vacation time. This is what happens when you hire someone for a job that they didn't originally do and is not their normal gig. House cleaners are not nannies and generally don't do housekeeping work weekly for a specific family either. So if you want her to commit to the position as an employee and not as an independent contractor (whose classification is defined by being able to create their own schedule), then you need to treat her fully as an employee with all typical benefits. Benefits for domestic employees are based on hours worked, so the typical 2 weeks vacation is 2 weeks of their weekly hours. If sick time is 1 week, then a 40 hr work week is 40 hours sick leave. 12 hours work schedule means 12 hours sick leave and 24 hours paid vacation, etc.[/quote]
