Me again, super helpful advice here before!
Initially I was looking at hiring for a set amount of hours a week with potential for additional non-term time hours. Fairly straight-forward I thought, and was thinking same monthly wage with hours in lieu etc
Im now looking at front-loading hours first couple of months of the year so effectively full time then (as a suggestion to help with nanny’s situation, not money related) and I was thinking I could cut hours in last few months to adjust for this as my younger one can be in preschool from September.
Before I propose this to the nanny, if you were to offer a 12 month contract starting 1 Jan how would you cater for this?
I’m setting out an excel with exact proposed hours / dates for the year, but assume I shouldn’t offer a set monthly salary if hours will vary and be much less at the end of the year (although if she would prefer this, can I do this?)
If I instead agree a 12 month contract and pay for exact hours agreed upfront in the contract for each month (presume not a prob for nanny payroll companies to deal with), is it reasonable to set holiday entitlement based on the average hours per week over the 12 months?
So 5.6 multiplied by average weekly working hours over the 12 months?
And then when they take a day’s holiday - do I use the average daily hours to calculate what to pay for that month? As the daily hours will also vary.
Any thoughts appreciated. Not sure if I’m missing something obvious.
Thanks!
