Question
Is it permissible to employ a non-Jewish worker for house cleaning and similar tasks close to Shabbat if she continues to work on Shabbat?
Answer
Until sunset, it is permitted, and on Shabbat itself, some are lenient if she cleans with a rubber squeegee and not a sponge, and can do so without wringing.
