Employing temporary staff as a small business

Former Community Member
Former Community Member
Hi 


I am currently setting up my own company and will predominantly be working alone to begin with but was looking for advice on how to best to employ temporary staff if required.


I will most likely need an extra pair of hands occasionally and was wondering if anyone could give me some advice on how best to approach this as an Ltd. company in regards to the following points 


1. Public liability insurance for the extra individuals working on site with me.

2. Paying tax for temporary workers 

3. Being liable for the work done by the skilled persons 

4. Signing work off completed by skilled workers not under my supervision


Any advice / constructive criticism will be gratefully appreciated


(Sorry if this isn't the best place to post my query, have found members extremely helpful previously so trying here first)


Thanks, Deep

    Great help - Thank you 


    So ultimately regardless of what terms and level of skill I employ someone on, all completed works will be signed off by myself and only I am accountable for the work.


    Therefore if I did intend on taking blokes on to complete contracts on my behalf I best make sure I can trust their workmanship and that they won't screw me over.. 


    I think you need to be slightly careful of that - if you employ a person to do some work, and they fcuk it up, and you put it right (or pay them extra to put it right), they are probably "employees" for tax status - if you call them back to put it right, at their cost, then they are probably subcontractors.
