How much do I pay the housekeeper / cleaner?
All the housekeepers / cleaners on Top up Talent are self-employed and cover their travel expenses, which means their hourly rate may be higher than an employee. Cleaners set their desired hourly rate and this, together with the maximum a business is willing to pay, is used to match businesses and cleaners together. Currently the majority of the cleaners are requesting between £13 - £18 per hour, depending on their experience. The agreed hourly rate and the total amount to pay the cleaner will be confirmed when we have successfully matched your shift.
