A criminal investigation is targeting Shiva, a home cleaning company owned by the Domia group. The Paris prosecutor's office confirmed on Saturday the opening of the proceedings, triggered by a complaint alleging, among other things, undeclared work. The investigation focuses on possible disguised employment practices within this company specializing in home cleaning services.

A sector under surveillance

The Domia group, a major player in the personal services sector, has found itself in the spotlight. The case reveals the persistent tensions within this sector, which is regularly confronted with accusations of circumventing labor laws. Investigators will have to determine whether the company did indeed use legal structures to conceal salaried employment relationships.

Issues surrounding employee status

This procedure comes amid increased scrutiny by authorities of home services companies. The practice of classifying employees as independent contractors allows these companies to evade social security contributions and labor law obligations. The outcome of the investigation will determine any potential legal action against the company.
