Title: Employing part time
Post by: benny donnelly on October 13, 2012, 12:30:53 pm

If for talk sake i was looking to take someone part time say 2 days a week and of course through the books could someone give me the inns and outs of doing so.

Is there a formula anywhere for deducting NI and Tax, do i have to give a payslip and if so can you just type one up on excel and print it off?

I have been researching it on the web but still not making any sense of it, so any of you fellow window cleaners who employ would you mind giving me a heads up as to what i have to do to take someone on, if it makes any difference im a sole trader myself but does a having a registered ltd company make much difference at all?

Any advise here would be great

speak to your accountant , they will happily do your wage slips, p30, etc etc for a small charge.

Appreciate the advise so far lads cheers.

Is there a handy way of doing it yourself with needing an accountant?

If the hours are set at 12 hours per week every week at the same rate can you work out the deductions then just keep applying them if you know what i mean?

Also do you inform tax that person is working for you or what way do you register them as employed by you?

Thanks again lads

You have the right to take statutory paid holiday from work if you are a worker. This includes people who work full-time, part-time, agency workers and casual workers. Only people who are self-employed and a few other exceptions will not be entitled to statutory paid holiday

To work out how many days holiday you can take a year, you need to multiply 5.6 by the number of days you work in a week.

TBH zero hour contracts will not attract decent people or even help you retain them.

You better off guaranteeing a smaller number of hours per week and topping up with overtime if needed.

I use an online package called payroo.com  it is completely free and works it all out for you and even has the option to pay the HMRC payments via debit card etc.

It looks after your payslips, employee records, P45, P60 everything you will need to employ staff.

I have used it for 5 years now and it is perfect for a small company.
