    I'd never advise paying cash even without the pandemic. Farway is using the best method with a bank transfer. It's rare for a cleaner to claim they were underpaid or not paid but it can happen. Bank transfer is quickest, no need to write a cheque. Bank will set up a numbered payment on your current account.. You can make your payments each time by either online or automatic phone system. It takes seconds is tracable through your statements and avoids any misunderstandings.

    I forgot to mention, once I have transferred her money [online banking], I send an e mail confirming the transfer.
    Although they are honest I think it's belt & braces, bank record plus e mail.
    It also helps me & my memory to remember I've done it
