See what they benefits are of being an employee before you make a decision.

Could I be self-employed and on their payroll? Are there any other financial considerations of being self employed?

Legally you would be seen as their employee not a self-employed person even if you are on a fixed term contract so employment legislation covering employees would kick in, and importantly for tax purposes you have a permanent place of work so you can't claim travel expenses to your place of work.
Different companies treat contractors and employees in different ways so for example in some companies only employees are made to go to health and safety meetings, there as in other companies both groups have to go to the meetings.
Lots of companies have different policies covering employment of different lengths so you likely to miss out on benefits like health insurance but could be in line for other benefits depending on how long your contract is for i.e. their pension scheme. You also should be able to take days of pro-rata and claim holiday pay for them.
Therefore you need to find out exactly what they are offering you, read the company's employment policies and benefits (have a look at their intranet if you can get access to it) and then calculate whether it's better to be on their payroll or not.
Read this for more information on your rights:

BTW if you have low travel expenses and there are other benefits you would have access to and would take up then it would be worth going on their payroll especially if their HR people where on the ball to the fact that you were legally entitled to them.

This also means you won't be able to claim travel expenses as you now have a permanent place of work, your employers office.

My client has offered to put me on the payroll. They've said they would pay employer's NIC.
Does this mean I could get paid directly by them without the need for a ltd/umbrella company (ie self-employed) and my take-home pay would increase?

You're probably better off, though.

Employer's NIC
Why do I need to pay employer's NIC when contracting through an umbrella?
Surely the Umbrella company is my employer and is responsible for paying this...?Tags: None
