Becoming a Domestic Employer Checklist – PAYE, Pension, Insurance and Records
About this document
A family employing a nanny, housekeeper or other household worker usually needs to register as an employer with HMRC, run payroll and pay employer’s National Insurance, and set up a workplace pension. Many families use a specialist nanny payroll provider. This checklist sets out what needs to be done and when.
The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.
A complete, ready-to-use document with every section written, your details shown in [square brackets], and guidance notes explaining how to complete it.
Our templates are professionally structured starting points for UK businesses, not legal advice. For anything complex, unusual or high-value, have your final version checked by a solicitor.
