Hi
my son has used his direct payments to pay for his carers who have zero hour contracts. He now has a PA who works about 30 hours a week and is asking about holiday pay and sick pay etc. She obviously needs a different contact to zero hours. How do we go about this, what is she entitled to? Ant advice greatly received as we haven’t a clue

Hi @Lib, I hope you're well. Perhaps this page on Employing Personal Assistants from Skills for Care might help, it has some information about what to include in a contract for a Personal Assistant.Community Manager

I am no expert on this but believe that it is best to have a PA who is self-employed as that takes most of the load off the client and his/her family.

I have had PAs myself and self-employed are hard to find but do what is best for you @Lib ☺
