Reply to comment by lovemoonsaults in Has anyone gotten caught paying someone who works in their home under the table? by dotphrasealpha

OP says it’s a housekeeper. Based on your link, it sounds like a housekeeper who brings their own cleaning supplies and just gets down to business would be an independent contractor.

Exactly, housekeeping is one of those things that can go either direction.

We hire through a janitorial company. The janitorial service happens to be ran by a single person, who does all the work themselves. They come within a window (standing appointment weekly) and bring all their own gear. The only thing we offer is the consumables because I'm not paying them to buy me trash bags and toilet paper but they offer that service if one wants it!

But if you have A Person come in, say every Monday 9am-12pm. And you have a set routine for them and they use your equipment in your closet to do it. Then that's an employee.

Now I'm imagining your cleaner stealthily arriving every week through a window, and leaving you with a clean house.
