Impact of Covid-19 on service vouchers

Covid-19 also presents you with domestic challenges. Read here how you can safely engage your domestic help with service vouchers.

Keeping the house clean, cooking, shopping, entertaining the children, washing and ironing. Can you manage all that? Today’s household is already a challenge in itself. With all the Corona measures on top of that, several families are faced with high mountains (was), which they have to cross.

Especially in this time, that extra hand of help in the household really makes the difference.

Do you know the Covid measures as a service check user?

You undoubtedly have several questions and concerns that come to mind. How does it all work in these uncertain (service check) corona times? Your domestic help is at the door, and then…?

Here are clear answers to all your service check questions:

1. Can my domestic help still come to work?
   Yes that is allowed! Provided that all safety measures are properly followed.
2. Can my domestic help still come to work when I have to quarantine?
   New. Imagine that you or your family made him/her sick. Of course nobody wants that! Report this to the employer of your domestic help as soon as possible. This is how we think about each other’s health together.
3. Can I be at home when my domestic help is at work?
   That is allowed, but of course that includes some safety measures (no kidding). When your domestic help is working in one room, you should ‘busy’ yourself in another room as much as possible. When that is difficult, the general rules apply: 1,5 m away rule and both wear a mouth mask.
4. Do my household help and I always have to wear a mouth mask?
   No, you only have to wear a mouth mask if you are in the same room.
5. Does my household help take extra precautions?
   Absolute! He/she is well informed by the employer. Wash hands frequently, wear maximum gloves, wear a mouth mask, and so on.
   Tip: You can help by opening the windows before his/her work begins.
6. Will I still be notified when the domestic help is cancelled?
   Naturally! In times of crisis, good communication is just as important. The agency/employer will always notify you of any changes in the work schedule.
7. Can my household help use public transport?
   Yes that is allowed. Your domestic help is well informed by his/her employer about the necessary safety measures and is advised to travel outside peak hours as much as possible.

All the Covid measures at a glance:

• Should you stay in quarantine? Notify the employer of your domestic help as soon as possible.
• Avoid contact with your household help and keep enough distance.
• Ventilate your home as well as possible, also before his/her arrival.
• Provide liquid soap and a clean towel
• Preferably use electronic service checks (link to other blog).
• Are you not sure that the work of your domestic help can be carried out safely? Then contact the employer of your domestic help. They will undoubtedly be able to reassure you.

Now you can safely use that extra helping hand in the household. Because they are also ready for you in the ‘Corona 2021’ era!
