Q from a newbie - Using contractors/freelancers - documentation required?
Noted - thank you very much, everyone has been really helpful and I am genuinely keen to make sure our actions don't put any of our contractors at risk of IR35 and/or EE status for them as much as us. I'll come back and update in case any lurkers are going through the same.- EssjDuff

Q from a newbie - Using contractors/freelancers - documentation required?
Ah sorry I keep crossing over with replies! Yes as I say I want to protect these guys as well as us. I have been surprised at some of the info I'm hearing about how the arrangements, sounds like some of them have been written on the back of a fag packet at times.- EssjDuff

Q from a newbie - Using contractors/freelancers - documentation required?

Q from a newbie - Using contractors/freelancers - documentation required?
Thanks! That's what I've been saying, to treat them the same as we would a plumber coming to do a set job. I'm getting push back though as there are times when a certain work area needs additional general resource rather than a specific timed project. Sounds like I just need some help...- EssjDuff

Q from a newbie - Using contractors/freelancers - documentation required?
Thanks for the quick reply! Some via agencies and some directly. I am trying to educate people that its not necessarily the written its the actions that will ultimately matter. I feel a bit relieved to have it confirmed that it will require external support, I was wondering if it was...- EssjDuff

Q from a newbie - Using contractors/freelancers - documentation required?
