Do you use paper service cheques?
For each hour of work done, you complete a service cheque legibly, in black or dark blue ink, and sign it. You also specify the effective date of the service and the type of activity performed (check box).
Please note: if you choose the paper cheque, you are responsible for its delivery. You must therefore ensure that it is given to the JobCenter Daoust managing your file in the week of the service provided by your housekeeper.
