After 3 months you have to pay for all statutory holidays plus the holidays she is entitled too as per contract. We give ours all the same holidays that my husband recives which is all public holidays.

agree with Moppet - we give them all public holidays not just statutory - I think there are the 12 statutory hols plus another 5 or so - Easter, Chrismas, May 12 (this year)... Those 5 are up to you of course, you dont have to give them off. We also give our helpers 2-3 wks a year off to go home, tho you only owe her 7 days in first year and 7 in second.
