Government packages

Obviously. Most PSCs pay under the National Minimum Wage so by doing so you'll also have been breaking the law paying under NMW as well as fraud.

But I'm sure some eejit will come asking how to do it.

There is a get out clause, I pay myself the minimum wage, I just don't claim for all the hours I actually work...

Make both of you furloughed workers for at least 3 months or until you pick up another gig.

so that means you worked for free for your client for that time?

What I meant by that is, if the timesheet to the client has more hours on it that he paid himself at NMW then how does that discrepancy get explained if he is investigated.

ok I checked we are not in general we are in accounting/ legal.

we are not all know it alls, so it would be good if you can explain what is so stupid about what I have said. I have never been investigated so I don't know what they will look at.

PSC covered for PAYE element no mention of risk of no employee contract

anyway the face palming and NMW is a moot point possibly, this confirms PSC directors are covered and no mention of the risks from the previous article (penned by the same author)
