Live-in housekeeper pros

• 
  Housekeeper’s salary is reduced
  
  Live-in housekeepers reside in the home they work. The family must provide accommodation as well as cover their daily meals. These compensations are understood to be payments in kind which contribute towards the housekeeper’s salary, thus lowering the overall hourly cost.
• 
  Housekeeper availability
  
  With an opt-out agreement, you can expect your housekeeper to be on call 72 hours a week. Forget about your employees being late because of traffic, or public transport: They will always be on time if they live at home.

 Live-in housekeeper cons

• 
  Privacy
  
  Sharing your home space with an employee might translate into a slight loss of privacy unless you dispose of separate living quarters for the domestic staff.
  
• 
  Giving up part of your home
  
  As mentioned above, live-in housekeepers are entitled to a room in the house; this is an inherent right that becomes part of the salary as payment in kind while working in the house.

 Live-out housekeeper pros

• 
  Low requirements same performance
  
  Live-out housekeepers are ideal for smaller households where perhaps, no extra rooms are available, and cleaning tasks may not require excessive time; whether your Fabergé eggs need dusting or your 16th-century Dutch tapestry need vacuuming, a part-time housekeeper can do it all.
• 
  Flexibility
  
  Part-time arrangements can be quite flexible. At Nomenial we will help you find someone who can adapt to your timetable as long as we allow workers to establish a fixed schedule compatible with other jobs.



 Live-out housekeeper cons

• 
  Higher turnover
  
  Short-hour jobs tend to be less attractive and have higher turnover than full-time jobs. Nomenial guarantees the replacement of your employee for up to one year: so you can have peace of mind.
• 
  Extra expenses
  
  For short-term jobs, there is a greater need to compensate for travel to the workplace. Particularly in remote locations, employers will be required to cover traveling expenses, and in some cases, employees could be entitled to claim compensation for travel time.
