With the arrival of the festive season, you are probably looking at the year ahead and thinking about having some time off. But holiday arrangements can often create problems for nannies, and it's important to know what your rights are and to ensure that you make agreements with your employer well in advance.
All full-time employees in the UK are entitled to four weeks (20 days) of paid leave every year, and this includes nannies. Your holiday leave entitlement will often be counted from a particular date each year, usually the date when you started your current job, and your holiday may only be taken during the employment year in which it arises. Similarly, you are not entitled to take payment in lieu of any time owed that was not taken in an employment year.
