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

    Plus, if they can choose to work for you and others too they are probably subcons too . The easy way is to consult HMRC before you commit yourself, although at the moment they might be busy


    I have spent a lot of my life being a subcontrator to a couple of contractors whilst having my own customers and also emplying subcontractors of my own at times too


    I'm so glad I posted the question - Have a lot of research to do before I will take on an extra pair of hands now.. 


    its getting more confusing than I had anticipated but I'm sure we'll get there with some good old fashioned perseverance!
