Employers' Liability insurance for Family Payroll members

Our Employers' Liability insurance policy provides cover for you if you employ nannies, carers or domestic staff to work in your house.

Under UK law, all employees must be covered under an Employers' Liability policy. Our policy provides protection for 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.

If you have household insurance, please check with your insurer or broker that you do not currently have Employers' Liability for Domestic Staff under your existing policy.
