Up to 100,000 people who employ personal carers are being warned that they may now be legally liable to pay them pension contributions.

From 1 June, small businesses employing up to 30 staff will gradually be obliged to offer their staff pensions, under the auto-enrolment programme.

That includes people who only employ one person, such as a carer or a nanny.

That is going to stop the disabled employing PAs, as they will not be able to afford it & then it will be a return to the poor care form many agencies, it will take away choice!!!!

I am not surprised at this as you have to pay holiday and sick pay when you employ a carer or PA
