what the political class in parliament need to do is decide under what legal framework they would prefer freelancers to operate, whether they can indeed claim expenses like employees of a big consultancy would, and so on, and then endorse that model properly. at the moment they don't like one man band limited companies, and they don't like umbrellas, they really need to be asked what model do they want freelancers to use.
the current shambolic political swaying in the wind is a mistake.
the economy needs to make it easier for people to become freelancers, to use the model, and to use that style of engagement, even if only for 6 months between permie jobs. a flexible workforce is what we need, not a workforce tied up in red tape and nonsense.Last edited by CoolCat; 11 December 2015, 20:29.Comment

People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." CiceroComment
