Checklist: Are you really self-employed?
[ch 2: page 50]These are some of the factors likely to indicate whether or not you are genuinely self-employed:
• whether workers provide their own equipment;
• whether they can provide a replacement to carry out the work;
• >whether they have any helpers;
• whether they are taking on any financial risk;
• whether they receive sick pay or holiday pay;
• whether they are responsible for their own expenses; and
• whether they are responsible for their own tax and National Insurance.
• what the paperwork says (this could be a job advertisement as well as a contract).
