If you’ve never employed someone before, our exclusive Domestic Employer’s Checklist has been designed to make hiring household staff a little less daunting for you. We’re here to support you with the legal aspects of the employment that you’ll need to consider including holiday and pensions.
Salaries are an extremely important part of the employment process.
Use our Salary Calculator to help you work out your employee’s weekly, monthly and annual net salary, otherwise known as their “take home” pay. This handy gross to net salary calculator will also work out the total cost to you as an employer, including any pension contributions due.
In the UK employment world, almost all industries will discuss salaries in Gross terms. If you agree to a Net salary you may be in for a shock further down the line when faced with how much employing household staff is really going to cost.
Under the Pensions Act 2008, all UK employers must offer their employee a workplace pension scheme if they meet the criteria. Once enrolled into the pension scheme, you (the employer), your employee and the Government will be required to contribute to the pension. Learn more about workplace pensions or find out about our domestic staff pension service subscription add-on.

All employees including domestic workers have a legal minimum holiday entitlement. As a domestic staff employer you must state your enployee’s holiday allowance in the contract of employment and administer holiday pay where due. So how much holiday is your employee entitled to? This depends on whether they work full time or part time.
An employment contract should help you and your employee set the foundations for a good working relationship. This legally binding document will outline the key terms of the employment arrangement that both parties must keep too.
From professional working families who need an extra pair of hands, through to large estates and properties requiring multiple staff members.
Our Domestic Payroll Service makes managing salaries easy. It ensures you have the right paperwork to fulfill your legal obligations as an employer.
Whether you’re employing someone for the first time or you’ve had domestic staff in the past, it is essential that you know the costs of employing someone.
