178 | UK Enterprise Awards 2021 Apr21772 Best Nanny Payroll Provider 2021 Many parents are now turning to nannies to provide their childcare and Nannytax is the perfect tool to offer support and guidance along the way. We take a more in-depth look at how the company can assist parents - and nannies - to make life that little bit easier for both parties. For so many parents, finding that sweet spot with work, life and childcare is an on-going challenge and many are outsourcing their childcare needs by hiring nannies as a very viable solution. Having this flexibility with childcare is particularly valuable for parents working atypical hours or jobs that include overtime, weekend working, travel or on-call working. The same benefits apply to freelance workers or shift workers with unpredictable schedules and those with projects or businesses they run alongside their primary job. Having a nanny can prevent parents from having to cut back on the hours they work or turn to strategies such as ‘shift parenting’ where parents work at different times and share care between them. However, employing a nanny yourself can also be a minefield, which is where Nannytax comes into play, to help, advise and guide you on your journey. Nannytax offers a complete nanny employment package encompassing payroll, pensions and specialist insurance with the goal being to save busy working parents the time and hassle of dealing with HMRC, administering payslips and various other legal duties that come with employing a nanny. In turn, nanny employers can better support their nannies from a tax and employment perspective. Founded in 1993 by a former bookkeeper named Stephen Vahrman, who spotted a gap in the UK domestic employment market, Nannytax was the first nanny payroll service of its kind and is now the longest running Nanny PAYE company in the UK. Trusted by more than 10,000 domestic employers, the company understands all the intricacies of nanny employment law and has added many additional services over the years to encompass all areas of nanny employment. Most recently, during the pandemic, Nannytax expanded its payroll and customer service team and built a furlough portal entirely in-house to accommodate the needs of families who wished to utilise the Coronavirus Job Retention Scheme. The award-winning nanny payroll service now includes weekly/monthly payslips, a free contract of employment and unlimited HR support. There’s also an online Employer Members Area to make accessing payslips and logging records, such as holiday and overtime, convenient and hassle-free. To support the nanny in question, there’s also a dedicated Nanny Members Area which offers easy access to their payslips and much more. The Nannytax team is proud to be based in Brighton’s vibrant city centre. A stone’s throw away from the seafront, the organisation is lucky to be situated right in the thick of the city’s burgeoning tech sector. The talented teams at Nannytax have professional backgrounds ranging from accountancy and personal tax at HMRC to telecommunications and retail management, and they’re all available to offer guidance and to support clients throughout the employment of their nanny. Nannytax aspires to continue to source and develop innovative solutions that support families, nannies and all those working across this fantastic sector of the UK childcare industry. From sick pay and maternity leave to nanny shares and furlough, the company’s expert knowledge has made it the award-winning market leader of the industry that it is today.
