Employment Status
For
many different reasons it is necessary to establish whether
an individual is to be regarded as employed or self-employed
working under a contract of service as an employee
or under a contract for services as an independent
contractor.
The relationship between a worker and an employer or engager
may be questioned in the following circumstances: IR35, compensation
for injury at work, payment of tax and national insurance,
VAT, employment rights and insurance claims, amongst others.

legal expects on Employment Status. She has written an online
book called the Employment Status Guide, has lectured at the
London School of Economics and at other conferences for IIR

Butterworths Tolley journals and AccountingWeb, and contributed
