Title: contracting out my staff
Post by: Mrs Nicholls on April 15, 2007, 11:08:14 pm

hi

ive had an enquiry, which id like to proceed with, the cleaning lady down at one of the local club/pubs is having couple months off work due to an injury, and they have asked us for a cover cleaner.

is there anything i should be doing or be concerned about in putting a staff member on to the job, or would you treat it as a normal office/domestic type contract?

just wondered as its a new thing for us.

thanks
Lisa

I have a couple of contracts that call me just for Holiday Cover, I have had no problems.
I would always put a member of staff in that is loyal to you though.

As you are not an agency you should run this as any other contract so when you quote for the cover remember your cleaner will also be accruing holiday pay so make sure it is covered.  Also you will need to notify your insurers that you are working on this type of premises if they don't already know.
