Housekeepers want 50% without Cleaning

[Gary Campanaro]

Hi Everyone,  I recently had a last minute cancellation due to Covid (same day cancellation).   I informed the guests that I would refund there cleaning fee because the cabin would not need to be cleaned.  I informed my cleaners that she did not need to clean on date of checkout. She came back to me and asked if I would pay her 50% of my cleaning fee if guests cancel within 48 hours. Her reasoning is that she put it in her schedule and she could have accepted other cleaning jobs.  What are your thoughts?
