Title: self employed staff
Post by: myvanwi on September 17, 2008, 03:52:34 pm

We have decided that employed staff cost too much so we are looking into them going self employed. Has anyone else gone down this route when staff started off employed?

They would be sub-contracted to you, however check out hmrc as you can not sub-contract full-time it can only be a limited amount of days a month as far as i am aware!!!

It prevents employers getting away with not paying sick pay etc etc.

The rule of thumb is: if they work  soley for you then they are considered employed by you and the normal rules apply. 

If they have a second job and self employed in that second job, then by all means they can also be self employed for you.

Just to add that if you're ii any doubt, do call HMRC. I find them all very helpful, that's when I can understand their Scottish accents  ;)
