Expenses for additional employee

[richy]

Hi. in another thread I discussed taking on another employee and sending on contracts. i'm just calc what salary I could offer, but i wonder if i am obliged to offer the same expenses (40p mile, and hotel accom etc) i need to also give the employee.. to be fair with me claiming myself..?

this makes it hard to calc a salary i can offer, as i don't know what expenses will be incured.. so i either have to knock off a lot from my available money pool... or set a limit of say 4k accom per annum etc.. and so many miles.. is that allowed..?

thx for any tips, rich

Your company - you can do what you like.

You don't have to offer the same expense package to your employee. Equally, if he is incurring business expenses you can charge them to your client, so they are revenue neutral. Not much point in taking on staff and losing money over them, is there...

thanks for the reply. My client cant pay the expenses, they want an all inclusive price.. so i need to figure out what salary I can offer my employee to do the job.. so i dont get stung for 10k hotel bill..

Why not just sub contract this to someone local.
