Originally posted by jamesbrown View PostI think they're just suggesting a renaming of "worker" status under employment law (to "dependent contractor"), although they're also suggesting that self-employment is better defined in both primary and secondary legislation (something IPSE and others have called for too). There are a few interesting things but, from what I've scanned so far, mostly anticipated.

Step 3. In the medium term, in the interests of innovation, fair competition and sound public finances we need to make the taxation of labour more consistent across employment forms while at the same time improving the rights and entitlements of self-employed people."Comment

Regarding 3 if you remove the incentive for companies to pretend people are self employed you may reduce the number of people self employed to more accurate levels...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Taylor Review: UK should end cash-in-hand economy - BBC NewsComment

Originally posted by TheFaQQer View PostFrom what has been discussed in the media, "dependent contractor" is just a new name for "worker". That's the line that Taylor was giving on Radio 4 this morning.
Employed
Zero hours
Dependent
Self employed...
What I'm really looking forward to is any definition of supervision and control as both that and his dislike of cash in hand are going to be interesting...merely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

Listing to BBC4 this morning they were talking about the report due to be published. Very much appears to be Taylor siding with business about supporting a dependent contractor model who has some but not all rights of a worker.
Had various people such as an Uber driver but interestingly a spokesperson from Plimco's plumbers who hinted that if they have to cover holiday and sick pay it would come out of the hourly rate.
I'm going to assume the sick pay comment is statuary sick pay and rights and everyone in a dependent contractor relationship will have to pay full wack NI with the 'Employer' paying the employer bit.Last edited by BlueSharp; 11 July 2017, 09:24.Make Mercia Great Again!Comment
