Nanny redundancy money question?

[Friedbrain]

Hello...

Iv heard about nanny redundancy money.

Could anyone please tell me more about this please

As a parent would you be annoyed if your nanny was leaving and asked for this?

As a nanny would you ask for it if your services were no longer needed?

Thank you in advance

If a person leaves their job by choice no redundancy is paid, if they are no longer needed and therefore made redundant then it would be paid as per law. A nanny is no different to any other employee.

If the nanny is entitled for redundancy pay then of course you pay it, why would even raise the question. If you were entitled for it, in your job then you would expect it, would you expect your boss to be annoyed you had asked about it.

Sorry I came across quite harsh, I assumed you are an employer who was annoyed by the fact you may have to pay redundancy, but on re reading you could also be a nanny who facing redundancy.

Are you a nanny or employer? Does this relate to a nanny job which is coming to an end or one where the nanny is leaving voluntarily?

depends why the nanny is leaving

if her own accord then nothing

if leaving as job isnt there any more and been there over 2 years then yes entitled to it and yes as a nanny i would ask if hadnt been mentioned but tbh my last 3 jobs where i was made redundant all brought up redundancy, prob as the nanny tax companies they use mention it

nannies are no different from other employees who get redunancy

friedbrain is a nanny so assuming her/your boss isnt happy about paying redundancy?

as previous reply if you are leaving of own accord you get nothing

if your mb has made you redundant and been there over 2 years you are legally entitled to it

Not just if your job no longer exists - you are redundant if there is still a job, but the terms are significantly different. So for instance if you accepted a full time job and after a while they said they only wanted mornings and to pay half as much, that is still redundancy.

Do parents with nannies realise that redundancy pay may apply if their nanny stays several years and the job ends?

It is like other statutory payments, SSP, SMP, parents may not worry about it until it happens, or do parents factor these things in when making the decision to have a nanny vs using a nursery or childminder?

Clued up parents (such as those on mumsnet) probably do consider statutory payments. But do all?

Jinxxx that's what I meant. Ie job role / specfixs have changed

I did know that Nannynick but it still hurt when I was made redundant and ended up paying over half of my statutory redundancy pay to my nanny, whom I longer needed!

Not that she wasn't just as entitled to redundancy as me obviously - just thought I should make that clear, but it left me even poorer.
