Hi Chris and welcome to the forum. In most cases I think the answer is no, but again I think it would depend on your job/position. What do you do? I teach and my employers don't know about my financial business. One of our proffesionals will be along soon to advise further. x

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Depending upon what your job is, or what your companies policy is, then your employer doesn't need to be informed.

Hi and welcome to the forum.

Check your contract of employment, but for most cases your employer won't need to know.

Hi and welcome to the forum [:)]

I agree with the others, check your contract. In most cases you wouldn't need to tell your employer, although it's getting more common for new contracts to include a clause that dictates "any legal agreement with creditors must be disclosed" .

Let us know if you have any problems xx

It is pretty unlikely - but as the other posters have suggested check out the T&Cs in your own contract or have a confidential chat with your HR department.
