Other costs to keep in mind when hiring Household Staff in London:

  • Taxes and benefits: As an employer you will need to pay tax and national insurance contributions, you would also need to factor in pension contributions. You may provide other benefits like private health cover, bank holiday pay and annual leave.
    We offer all clients a 20% discount on Staff tax payroll subscriptions
  • Recruitment fees: Household Staff recruitment agencies, like Bespoke Bureau, can assist you to find your household staff and there will be a fee for these services
  • Training and development: Many clients invest in specialist training for their staff. This might be housekeeper training, laundry training or service training. Our very own British Butler Academy offers in-house training for all domestic staff at affordable prices.
  • Accommodation:If you provide accommodation for your household staff, you will need to account for rent, utilities, and maintenance costs.
  • Insurance: Under UK law, all employees must be covered under an Employers' Liability policy. Check if your home insurance provides this or seek a protection that covers damages and legal costs that arise as a result of claims from your domestic staff suffering an injury or disease arising out of their employment.
  • Uniforms and equipment: Depending on the role, you may need to provide uniforms, equipment, or tools for your household staff. This can be an additional cost to consider.
