Nanny holiday pay confusion

3 replies

I have just been for a nanny interview and while discussing holiday I was told that I would be entitled to 4 weeks (I could choose dates for 2 weeks, and they whould choose the rest) but only 2 weeks would be at full pay and the other 2 would be at half pay. Is this right?

No! Everyone is now legally entitled to 5.6 weeks holiday per year.

They cannot tell you that they will not pay you for your holiday.

I would also check that they are going to pay you legally. They need to employ you (unless you are part-time and have other jobs, then you may be able to be self-employed) Anyone who doesn't know about employment may also not know about tax and national insurance.

Thanks, it didn't sound right and that gumtree add is very similar.
