Am I ready to become an Employer?

What to do if you decide to use your Direct Payment to employ a Personal Assistant (PA):

 You will need:

• Employer Liability Insurance
• A job description
• A contract
• Payroll (it isadvised to use a payroll service as they will deduct Tax and National Insurance Contributions for you).
• Some understanding of employment law
• It is recommended to do a Criminal Record Bureau (CRB) check for your potential PA. These are paid for by Richmond Council.
• It is also vital to check that your PA is eligible to work in the U.K. It is advised to contact the home office.
