You would need Employers Liability Insurance and you would need to inform the revenue either with a P45 or P46. You would also be well advised to have written terms and conditions of employment. You could take him on as a sub contractor but he would need Employers Liability Insurance also if he only sub contracts to you then the revenue might treat him as an employee.

Check out www.hmrc.gov.uk

Look at the new employers section. speak to their helpline they are very helpful. I had lots of help from them when I set up

Dennis,

Have a read of IR 56 (it's easy to find in google) Inland Revenue Fact Sheet 56.

It's a good starting point.
