We're preparing the contract for our new nanny, using the nannytax standard contract. What percentage of a nanny's pay do you pay (or is fair to pay) a nanny when you go on holiday (without her)? We don't travel much but there may be a week here and a few days there when we won't need her. Is anything below 100% pay being cheap? I don't want to be cheap. I just want to know what's common practice :)

I always agreed a certain number of days/weeks paid holiday a year. The deal was that we could chooser when to take half and she could choose when to take the other half, although in practise we agreed the big ones at the beginning of the year and all took them at the same time.


If I then took other odd days off that exceeded the agreed leave, I paid in full on the grounds its not their fault I have decided to have more time off, and they have their bills to pay.

Yes that's what we do too. In practice we've ended up taking quite a bit of extra holiday, and have always paid it 100% in full...as mellors says it's not their choosing. My nanny asked for an extra week off when we were around but had family to stay and for that we agreed that she would work those days off in extra time/babysitting.

You should always pay your nanny in full when you choose to take extra holidays, it is your choosing not your nanny's.

In my previous job I used offically get 5 weeks paid leave but in reality it was more like 8 therefore I didn't really feel I could complain if my employers asked me to come in for one or two mornings/afternoons to do any nursery duties that I may not get time to do during my normal working routine - sorting through clothes, toys, books that the children have outgrown or sewing labels into school uniforms etc.

you have to pay 100%. If you are employing a nanny, you pay for 52 weeks a year, just like any employer. you have some freedom over how many holiday days you offer in total, since you can include bank holidays in the total (though many people don't, or only in part.)


For a full time employee, the legal minimum is 5.6 weeks (28 days), though this can include bank holidays.

I believe that is 4 weeks + 8 public holidays

    • I mean good luck to you, but with 4 staff you have still failed to submit your statutory accounts for your two eligible years of operation and are overdue with them this year too. Companies House have taken steps to close you twice. Your annual loss in trading is increasing each year.  You have had two directors resign in 2022 leaving only 1 in place which isn't the best if you want good governance- but that also stops you from being able to raise funds from trusts and foundations.   
    • There's still a massive shortage of student housing in London regardless of short term fluctuations - just look at how expensive it is now and what a barrier it is to mobility! What are people worried about anyway? That there will be so few students in London that a private landlord has to cut rents and makes lower profits? Oh no! 😂
    • This is probably a stupid question, sorry. Could you contact all the surgeries whose catchment area you are in (and haven't already found wanting) and ask them directly if they have GPs with the knowledge and experience you need? Because I imagine there are not many people using this forum who can help, though I may be wrong.
    • I don't understand this, probably my fault. I thought the Crown offices were going to close completely and the  services they provided were going to be moved to local shops with space for a sub post office. But if the Post Office is  seeking franchisees for the Crown offices, that implies that the offices themselves would stay. But if they are not profitable for the Post Office, how could they become profitable for a franchisee?
