Hi what's your question though?  You agree on what you want her to do and pay her. You are not her employer.

are there legal formalities to file?  government paperwork?

I am told some labor laws changed in 2022 that create more regulations, and local labor inspectors can be a real pain in the neck.  but it seems everyone i speak  with  has s  different  explanation   

And another thought....locals will want to consider themselves your "employee". That gives them certain rights. I hired a gardener to come by twice a month for a total of 8 hours a month, and guess what...he considers me his "employer".  They will also start asking for "incidentals" (i.e. my child is sick, I need money for medicine, etc). And advances on their pay. Its just how it is.

The laws did change and you could be at risk.  Cleaning staff and property staff can now be considered employees.  It used to be you could "contract" people.  They are contractors if they are registered with the tax department and give you a proper receipt.  You must retain a % of their contracted fee and remit it.

Or they are employees and have rights. 

If this is an air bnb then you have a corp?

Great information. 

Thank you.

Can any one give  leads for a person or a company fot clean for my home in cabarette?

Cleaning supplies question.

i know this question is about minutiae; however, our shippers come

nezxt week and we are trying to whittle down what we are taking.  Hence, my question.

Do cleaning personnel that one hires provide their own brooms, mops, vacuum, etc.?

We will provide our own cleaning solutions.

Thank you.

You provide everything.

Good quality brooms are hard to find here, and vacuums other than shop vacs are nearly impossible! I suggest bringing both if you are bringing in a container! We've had to ship in or bring in a couple of vacuums/dust busters. But even with a good vacuum, the Dominican way to clean floors is with a mop and lots and lots of water! 🤣

You absolutely must teach any person in your house how to clean your way. I don't permit anyone to throw water around and I have had to teach them how to use a vacuum cleaner as well.   Remember anyone in this type of position is likely to have little education and little access to what you are used to.

What Planner says also goes for home repair. I normally provide tools,  ladders, and materials. They tend to show up on a pasola with no tools. And whether they know how to actually do what you ask them to do is another question.

All true!!!
