Auto enrolment is a new law that requires all employers, including nanny employers to set up a pension for their employees, the nannies and the employers will both funds the pension. Any nannies between the ages of 22 and the UK pension age that earns more than the current tax-free allowance should be participating.
Please note this new law extends as well to part time nannies and nannies always have a legal right to join. If your nanny meets the above criteria you as an employer must participate, however, she can choose to opt out and that choice is solely hers.
These new laws take affect in 2016, so be ready and contact Rockmybaby if you have questions. london@rockmybabynannyagency.co.uk
