It is necessary to hire a person to clean the common parts of the condominium. Two paths must be evaluated and studied. An employment contract can be signed with the person in charge of the task or a contract to provide services for the same purpose.

The differences between the two contracts are not only related to the fact that it is a contract with an independent worker, in the 1st case, or with a cleaning company, in the 2nd. While the worker undertakes not only to present a result but also to provide the activity itself, at the place and time defined by the condominium and under its supervision, the service provider is only obliged to present the result of the activity, following the guidelines of those who hired him, but with freedom in choosing the means used and, in the way, to carry out and organize the tasks. There is a relationship of subordination in the first case, while in the second, a certain autonomy prevails.

If an employment contract is established, the condominium must protect workers with work accident insurance, which will be activated if there is an accident at the work station or on the path used between the worker’s home and the condominium. In the provision of services, this obligation belongs to the service provider, either the person performing the task or the company to whom it was contracted.

In the 1st case, the condominium must also register the worker with Social Security and pay the respective monthly contributions. It must also provide the right to the usual rest period (22 working days), which will be paid and entitle them to vacation pay. The employee will also receive a Christmas allowance. In the provision of services, this aspect is not relevant. You have to make sure the job gets done.

There is also an obligation to take out insurance against accidents at work to protect workers in the event of an unforeseen event and to ensure the payment of medical expenses necessary to restore their health status and their ability to support themselves.
