Household staff monitoring: reliability and domestic peace of mind

Entrusting the care of one’s home or an elderly family member to a housekeeper or carer requires trust. When doubts arise about behaviour, reliability or the quality of care provided, Ponzi conducts discreet, non-invasive checks to restore peace of mind to the household.

Regulatory context

The relationship with household staff is governed by the National Collective Labour Agreement for Domestic Work. The domestic employer has the right to verify the proper performance of assigned duties, in compliance with the worker’s privacy (GDPR). Investigations may also cover the pre-employment phase (reference and background checks), in addition to monitoring on-duty behaviour.

  • Phase 1:Information gathering and definition of concerns.
  • Phase 2:Reference and background verification (for new hires).
  • Phase 3:Discreet observation of on-duty behaviour.
  • Phase 4:Confidential report with findings.

SCENARIO 1

The negligent carer
The relatives of a non-self-sufficient elderly woman suspect that the carer regularly leaves the patient alone for extended periods during working hours. Ponzi documents that the carer routinely goes out for lengthy personal errands, leaving the elderly lady without assistance.

SCENARIO 2

The false references
A family is about to hire a new housekeeper with apparently excellent references. Ponzi verifies that the families listed as previous employers either do not exist or never had any relationship with the candidate.
