Hi


I am self employed and work variable hours. I don't get paid when I don't work and I don't get holiday pay.


I'm hoping to employ a lovely nanny to help with before and a after school a few times a week. I've had a nanny before when my kids were younger but now they are both in school I'm unsure what to do during school holidays. The likelihood is that I will take some time off and ask the nanny to do some childcare and use some holiday clubs perhaps.


Therefore the hours will vary in school holidays. Does anyone have experience of a similar situation and how did you word this not he contract and how did this work with the payroll company?

Thanks.

We have a nanny who works different hours in the school holidays compared with during term time. The payroll company I use were completely un-phased by this so it can?t be that unusual. The part I found most complicated was working out holiday allowance - prorata-ing the bank holidays etc - but again my payroll co advised on that.


I suspect the harder part is finding someone who?s willing to work in a variable pattern which matches yours. Hope you get lucky!

Koru Kids is an agency providing students for after school care - not sure about mornings - they may not so mornings but being students would generally not expect holiday hours. (They are paid their legal holiday entitlement though, via the agency).

Otherwise if you agree directly with a Nanny to work term time only you can include wording in the contract that they are only employed for work in term time, and that their holiday entitlement is to be taken by in school holidays.

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
