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.

    • What is it that makes Waitrose so special! Admittedly I have shopped a couple of times in the Orpington and Beckenham one - sometimes buying food which I cannot get else where. Their 'basic range' is not bad. Price for price and quality - M & S.
    • Sometimes a shed or other installation has to have written approval from the freeholder i.e. Southwark, Southwark has (or did have) a Leaseholder Association.   Could also come under Anti Social Behaviour Unit.
    • Love Dulwich is great but has a large step in front. We have only been weekdays at Lunch time. Maria's next to Picture House is disabled friendly. Also can reserve table in advance. We did a Sunday lunch catch up with family - there were 8 of us.
    • Hi, Thinking about  going with some friends and was just wondering if folk might like to report back please. Most importantly sound level when busy & is it disabled friendly.  Thinking on a Sunday lunchtime but don’t want a busy busy environment or loud chatter - a couple of friends could not cope. Time can be flexible, if that helps - say 2 ish to avoid above.. Thanks…
