BY UK LAW IT IS A LEGAL REQUIREMENT THAT ALL NANNIES ARE PROVIDED WITH AN EMPLOYMENT CONTRACT WITHIN 8 WEEKS OF THE NANNY STARTING WORK

 

Why do I need a Contract of Employment?

Commencing employment with a fair and detailed contract of employment is essential to the start of a happy and healthy working relationship. An employment contract protects both employer and nanny and ensures all parties understand the terms of employment set out from the start.

A nanny Contract of Employment should include the following:

  • Name and address of nanny and employers
  • Duration of contract
  • Start date
  • Hours of work
  • Days of work
  • Gross salary
  • Holiday entitlement
  • Mileage allowance/agreed car use
  • PAYE
  • Full job description including duties
  • Probationary and notice period
  • Grievance and disciplinary procedures
  • Privacy and confidentiality agreement

A contract of employment should be signed by both parties and copies made.
