What do I need to to do?

As an employer, you will have to work out, and your employees tax and National Insurance contributions. This will come out of the wages and salary you pay them.

 

It is also up to the business to pay the employer's National Insurance contributions on the earningsof your employees, and to sort out any tax credits due to your employees.

Employees and the Law

If you take on any employees, you will need to know about the Law on things like employee rights, working hours, minimum wages and equal opportunities.

If you employ five or more employees you must give access to a stakeholder pension scheme unless they are exempt. You must make payroll deductions of an employee's contribution into his or her stakeholder pension if they ask you to.
