Hiring a Nanny

Kirsty813

Hi, Please can you help.
I am thinking a hiring a nanny part time (term time only)
I would be paying her under the £112 per week, so I would not have to pay National insurance or Tax. (I hope that is right)
I take it I will still have to reg with HRMC as an employer, do I need to get Employers liability insurance?
So am I right in thinking that I will just pay her the £7.20 x 15 hours = £108 per week and there will be no more to pay?
Just inform HRMC and give her a contract and payslip?
thank you for your help ?

If they don't already have another job or earn income from a pension etc. you won't need to register a PAYE scheme. I think you would need employers liability and you would probably need to check with your home insurers that they are happy for you to employ someone in your home.

The caveat to assuming they only have the one job is a tricky one.

Liability rests with you.

How can you definitely know they only work for you?

I would suggest you always run PAYE.

Just my 2p. There are more than a few would like to play the system.
