Permanent Placement Fees

If you would prefer to employ your Manny rather than become a member, we charge a one off fee of 15% of the Mannies annual Gross salary.

Full payment of the Agency fees will be invoiced 7 days in advance of the placement start date and must be paid within 5 days.

An 8-week pro-rata refund will be offered on the following terms: if the placement is terminated, by either party, employment dates will be calculated from the start date to the final day of employment. This 8-week period is inclusive of time off (for any reason) and includes any notice period.

Between week 1 and the end of week 4: 60%

Between week 5 and the end of week 8: 40%

In the case of termination of employment, the manny must be notified in writing. If a refund is being claimed the Agency must be notified in writing within three days of the notice of termination. Refunds must be applied for in writing, confirming the last date of employment, and are payable 7 days after the Manny’s last day of employment. Clients retaining the services of a Manny beyond the guarantee period or termination date, however unsatisfactory, paid or unpaid, will receive no replacement or refund.

It is the responsibility of the Client to pay all tax and national insurance on behalf of any permanently employed Manny. For more information on nanny tax and national insurance please visit www.nannytax.co.uk Manny salaries are determined on a case by case basis, based on experience, hours and responsibilities.

The Agency can supply a template contract to families to secure employment with your Manny. If you’d prefer to use your own contract, this is fine however a formal contract must be in place prior to work commencement.
