When you work as a domestic employee in the UK you have the same rights as any other employee. This means that the household you work for must set up a PAYE (Pay As You Earn) scheme and pay Tax and National Insurance contributions on your behalf. It also means that you have the right to paid holiday, Statutory Sick Pay and Statutory Maternity Pay amongst other benefits. Read more about the benefits of being an employee on PAYE.

In this section of the website, we also highlight your employer's responsibilities - what you can expect as an employee. We have also included a 'frequently asked questions' page but if you have any other queries, please contact us.

This section of the Enable Payroll website has been created with you – the domestic employee – in mind.
