Employment Status

Employment Status

The Agency will inform you of your employment status, meaning whether you are their employee or whether you are self-employed.

• Employed. If the Agency employs you, National Insurance Contributions (NICs) and income tax will be deducted automatically from your pay and you may be given some assistance with the preceding formalities. The employer has to have liability insurance. While you are working, you will also be building up an entitlement to some paid holiday.

 

• Self-employed. If the Client pays you direct, you have to make all the arrangements for payment of NICs and income tax yourself and, if you wish, take out personal injury and liability insurances. Any breaks or holidays will be unpaid.
