Holiday, Sickness and Absence Records for Household Employers
About this document
Holiday and sickness are the most common sources of disagreement between families and their staff. Clear records avoid misunderstandings and help you pay correctly. Since April 2026 employers must keep records showing that workers have received their holiday entitlement and holiday pay, for six years.
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.
