Know the Facts Before Hiring Home Help
Summary
With Americans working longer hours and leading more active lives, many are turning to cleaning services for household assistance. However, it's important to be informed before hiring.
Understanding Your Options
Selecting a cleaning service can be overwhelming with nearly 22,000 options nationwide, ranging from independent cleaners to large franchises. It's crucial to understand the legal implications of hiring home help.
Legal Considerations
Whether you hire a neighbor for lawn care or an independent cleaner, you might be liable if they are injured on your property. While homeowner policies may cover medical expenses, they often exclude lost wages or disability and can impact future insurance premiums.
Weighing Costs and Benefits
Larger providers like Merry Maids may have higher rates, but they offer significant advantages. As the nation’s largest cleaning service, Merry Maids adheres to Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standards, reducing injury risks. They also provide workers' compensation insurance to protect you in case of accidents.
Protecting Yourself
To avoid liability issues:
- Choose vendors with workers' compensation insurance.
- Opt for services that comply with OSHA standards to minimize risks.
- Be cautious with referral agencies, as they might not directly employ cleaners, ensuring no guaranteed supervision, training, insurance, or adherence to legal and safety standards.
By taking these precautions, you can enjoy peace of mind while keeping your home clean and safe.
