Nanny Employment Contract & HR Team

Bespoke Nanny Contract & HR Support

When you sign up to our Nannytax Payroll Service, our team of HR experts will create a bespoke contract of employment for you and your nanny, completely free of charge. In addition, you’ll have unlimited access to the HR team whether you have any general HR queries or if you have more serious concerns and wish to seek legal advice.

Whether it’s your first time employing a nanny or you’ve employed one before, we’re here to support you every step of the way with ongoing HR guidance whenever you need it.

Bespoke Nanny Contract & Handbook

Simple, easy Questionnaire – When you sign up, we will ask you to complete a contract of employment questionnaire via your Employer Members Area. This is so that so that our HR team can write the contract in accordance with your requirements. Our contracts are prepared and verified by CIPD qualified HR experts, so you can be confident they are legally compliant.

3 day turn around time –  We will ensure the contract is prepared within 3 days as you will need to provide this to your nanny by the first day of their employment. This is in line with HMRC legislation.

Complimentary Handbook – We will also provide you with a handbook detailing each of the terms outlined in the contract so that you and your nanny can have a clear understanding of what has been laid out.

Contract Amendments – If you wish to amend any of the terms in the contract our HR team will be happy to fulfil any possible requests, at any given time. Please note that you will need your nanny’s consent in order to do this.

Contract to suit your needs – We offer three types of contracts to suit you and your nanny’s needs, these include a term time-only contract, a fixed-term permanent contract with no probation, and a fixed-term permanent contract.

A Nanny's View - the Benefits of a Bespoke Contract

“ Contracts are so important. I’d never advise ever, ever, ever for a nanny to work without one.

I add to my contract throughout the years because, you know, something happens at work, you’re like, that went in my contract, right? I’m going to put it in my contract for the next family. There’s clauses in there, some people don’t even think of like professional development, next of kin. “
