Employment Rights For Chelsea Housekeepers
Your Responsibility As An Employer
If you are considering hiring private staff, it is important to be aware of your responsibilities as an employer. When you hire someone to work in your home, such as a housekeeper, nanny, cleaner or butler, you will be considered their employer.
Therefore, you need to ensure you meet the employee’s rights and deduct the right tax from their pay. This means things like providing them with an employment contract and payslips.
When hiring housekeepers in Chelsea, you will need to offer them standard benefits such as statutory maternity leave, statutory sick pay, paid holiday, redundancy pay and a workplace pension.
How Do I Find Out My Responsibilities?
We offer a wealth of information on our website, especially on our FAQs page. You’ll find this useful for some of our most commonly asked questions about being an employer. We can only offer general advice but have also provided links to useful resources.
The UK Government website also provides plenty of information and resources on employment law and advice for both employees and employers on their rights. This is also where you can register as an employer and check if someone has the right to work in the UK.
What Should I Consider Before Advertising Housekeeper Jobs in Chelsea?
As well as standard employer responsibilities as mentioned above, when looking for Chelsea housekeepers, ensure you are clear about exactly what you expect their responsibilities to be and the hours you expect them to work. If you are looking for a live in housekeeper in Chelsea, you may have to consider this carefully and plan around their time off or annual leave. If you need them for additional hours on a certain days, you may need to provide this time in lieu or pay overtime.
