you could use Homejoy to find a good cleaner and then talk to them directly, they are a contractor and are free to make a contract with anyone they wish.


I would be quite interested to read the contract that cleaners have to sign with HomeJoy to see how it addresses this situation.


They are not employees of HomeJoy.


What does that have to do with the discussion above, which is about contractual arrangements?


Because the more contractual arrangements they have the more the start looking like employees. FedEx is dealing with this right now with their contract workers.


I still don't see your point. Are you saying HomeJoy's cleaners don't have a contractual relationship with the company? That seems highly unlikely. I just expressed an interest in reading the terms of the contract that I assumet hey have, given that they're described as independent contractors.


They are independent contractors so whatever they do on their own time is their own business.


Is this your opinion or are you referencing a copy of the contract? It sounds like the former.
