Parental Choice Payroll services for Nanny Agencies

When you employ a nanny you become an employer, which means by law your nanny will require a contract on or before their start date and they will need to be registered with HMRC as your employee to ensure they are paying the right tax and NI.  If they are eligible you will also need to enrol them into a workplace pension.
