I identify two possible ways to sub-contract work to someone. It will be good if we can have a little discussion on this.
Option 1.
Hire a contractor through their Umbrella or Ltd. This seems straight orward . The contractor invoice you and that is it. They worry about IR35 . All you have to do is draft a contract with them.
From a marketing perspective however they will be under some other business name, thus your company is not getting credit. This is fine , the purpose is different – you are getting a cut of his wages.
One of the things that could go wrong is when later the sub-contractor decides:
He wants to go direct or skip you. This should be possible to defend against. Putting clauses in the contract similar to the ones in your contract with the Agency.
Option 2
Hire an employee. I need to speak to someone about this. Hope the PCG will have some directions.
Obviously if you are assigning them to a short-term contract , you cannot guarantee their pay after the contract ends. I wonder if such fixed-term contracts exist. In addition to the contract being short-term , clauses like sick pay , pensions need consideration.
