I post a thread on here on the 26/02/16 only to have it deleted from the forum. I asked if anyone knew a cleaner called Sandra, English lady who drives a VW Polo and leaves in Bermondsey. I hired her in later 2015. When I interviewed her I asked specific questions about who will be cleaning. I made it clear if she was hiring someone else to do the cleaning I would not be interested in hiring her. She assured me she would be the one doing the cleaning with the help of someone. It turned out she did not do the cleaning but hired two polish girls to do the cleaning. Sandra was hired for 5 weeks but was present only on the first day of the trial clean. The other 4 days she made excuses why she was not able to attend. It prompted me to question the girl because of Sandra?s absence and the fact the girl did not look at all happy or interested in cleaning. Plus my instructions were not adhered too. On questioning the girl she informed me Sandra never did the cleaning. She was paid ?15 per house and she had to do 5 houses per day. We paid Sandra ?10.00 per hour to do 4 hours of cleaning one day per week. I felt the girls were being exploited. I spoke to Sandra but she was not very open to discuss the situation. I asked Sandra to confirm that the girls were being paid the London hourly rate if we were to continue hiring her to do the cleaning. She was not willing to do so so we fired her. I recently transferred in error ?70.00 to Sandra?s account on the 10/02/16, I have asked her several times to transfer the money back to me but she has not done so. I felt it was important to share this with the forum because Sandra was recommended through the Forum.
