I need to know what the new law is concerning bank holidays. Will they be required to be paid?

I know that now you can give them the day off, pay her for it, and then you can credit it towards the 4 weeks of hols. But, I think this is ending.

do you mean that you dont pay your nanny for bank hols?

yes bank holidays can count as holiday at the moment, i assume they can still? (no idea really but would guess that they can) personally i would NEVER work for a family where i didnt have my 4 weeks ASWELL as bank holidays as paid leave.

From october will be ensuring its 24days + bank hols. (the reality is i get 5 / 6 weeks per year + odd days here and there though)

But, right now, she is entitled to bank holidays off, but not for them to be paid. If you pay them, then they can be counted towards the 4 weeks holiday entitlement. I think I heard that now Bank hols must be paid, and they can not count towards the 20 days. But, if that was the case, there would be 8 more days, not 4 more.

i think its going up to 24 days (instead of 20 days)

as you are an employer and your nanny is an employee she will be entitiles to extra days paid holiday the same as everyone else (includng you, assuming you are a working parent!)
