You’ll need to register with HMRC to set up a Nanny PAYE scheme. You’ll then be able to declare Tax and NI contributions each time you pay your nanny.

Yes. You must provide your nanny with a contract of employment by their first day of work. This should cover details like salary, hours of work, description of duties, holiday entitlement and other paid leave. You may want to consider optional terms such as confidentiality and redundancy.

We recommend using Nannytax’s holiday calculator.

The first three days of sickness are unpaid but from the fourth consecutive day of sickness you must pay statutory sick Pay.

If your nanny falls pregnant, they are entitled to up to 52 weeks of maternity leave. Statutory maternity pay (SMP) is a set amount that an employee can receive each week whilst on maternity leave. Unlike sick pay, the Government can fund an employee’s maternity pay.
