Rather begs the question - How can an industry that has a whole chunk of pretend brollies, tax avoidance schemes, be regulated? You only have to watch how many punters come here complaining that their brollie turned out to be no such thing. Meanwhile, regulating the already regulated real brollies (as employers they are already heavily regulated) would acheive what exactly? It is a mess for sure and I doubt there is a simple fix available.

Pipefitter 'only a worker due to parasitical brolly'
Now this is an interesting twist - worker not self-employed because of dodgy umbrella company - Heritage Solutions City Ltd.
https://www.contractoruk.com/news/00...al_brolly.html
Julia Kermode, chief executive of the Freelancer and Contractor Services Association responded: “We are sick and tired of our sector always being tarnished with the same brush due to actions of non-compliant firms that do not provide professional employment services.
“For that reason we would welcome potential regulation of the umbrella sector if it is sufficiently broad to ensure a minimum standard and does actually rid the sector of cowboys. There are many good compliant umbrella companies out there that provide a valuable service.”Tags: None
