Some things that are paid by employers, such as health insurance, are that way partly because those benefits are not counted as taxable income. I assume employer-paid housecleaning would be counted as taxable income and therefore not be attractive. Furthermore, many individuals evade taxes by paying their cleaning ladies under the table. An employer would want to avoid that legal risk and would have to pay payroll taxes of the cleaners. What about equity issues? Do employees in large homes get a larger benefit than apartment dwellers?
