House cleaners' accident insurance (LAA/UVG)

No one is safe from a domestic accident (about 2,100 accidents undergone by home and office cleaners in 2019) that’s why we support home cleaning professionals and customers (see health statistics).

• Batmaid cleaning agency ensures, covers and protects its cleaners from any accident (fall, burn...) • Customers are also insured in case of material damage. • Customers benefit from preferential rates on accident insurance premiums and rates negotiated on the traditional annual fee. This concept is Batmaid exclusive and ensures huge savings for customers. • Nothing can evolve into a catastrophic situation and end up in court. This is reserved for the black market.

At Batmaid, the lowest rates and most equitable salaries are guaranteed while customers and cleaning ladies or men are protected.

Cleaning agent's declaration

• In the black market, employers are exposed to severe penalties up to a CHF 5,000 fine, as well as the self-management of damages.

Social security of the cleaning professional (OASI)

Batmaid is in direct contact with all the Old-Age and Survivors' Insurance (OASI) funds of all cantons covered by its cleaning services. As a result, the house cleaners contribute to their retirement and are protected from any event that could jeopardize their financial stability (see OASI).

Paid vacations

As Batmaid maintains paid vacations, 8.33% of the hourly salary of each cleaning employee being added to their payroll and dedicated to holidays. It allows the Batmaids to put money aside all year long for their vacations, so they can fully enjoy their well-deserved rest.
