Aaron Seyedian founded Well-Paid Maids in the D.C. area back in 2017.
Inspired by the Fight for $15 minimum wage campaign, he wanted to get involved. For years, he had watched business lobbyists argue that a higher minimum would hurt businesses.
“I thought that running an explicitly living-wage business as a living case study could be useful to the movement,” he explained.
Enter: Well-Paid Maids. At the living-wage cleaning company, cleaners earn at least $26 an hour and get a full benefits package, including 24 paid days off per year as well as health, dental and vision insurance.
It’s safe to say Well-Paid Maids has proven paying a living wage is not bad for business. In fact, it’s pretty darn good!
In 2022, Well-Paid Maids expanded to its second location, New York City. Then, just last week, it opened a new branch… in Chicago!
Be sure to spread the word to your Chicago friends. Tell them to use code HELLOCHICAGO for $25 off their first cleaning.
Thank you, D.C., for all your support. We couldn’t keep growing without you!
