Points to consider before signing a contract with your employer

As a nanny your employer has a legal obligation to provide you with a contract of employment within 2 months of your date of starting, this should detail the terms and conditions of your employment and you should ensure that this includes at least some of the following:

Your name and job title

Working days and hours

Salary

Holiday entitlement

Duties and responsibilities

Statutory payments (SMP, SSP)

Workplace pensions

Notice period

Disciplinary and Grievance procedures

You should always check and read the contract fully and understand the details and anything you are unsure of or you believe is not included should then be followed up with the employer before you sign and date.
