[Mist A Bit]

I have a guy who does all my contract work who is on sub contract basis but now looking for a helper on domestic side. Apart from his wages for a day what other costs will I be looking at. I know he wont be paying tax on 1 days wages.
Thanks
Steve

If the helper has another job then it will be classed as a second job and the rules are different depending how many hours they do though.

Employers insurances I would of thought is another.

Just stay with sub contractor, they have there own insurance, ect ect

still need insurance for subbies, even though they may still have there own

Do you?
What?

I've not got insurance for the lads that sub from me.
Wasn't aware I needed any if they're insured?

If I insure them and they insure themselves, won't each policy just pay 50% anyway?

im sure its something you should have, not sure who pays out on what with regards to insurance companies, but do think its something thats required, if i remember right when i do my insursance one of the questions is do i have subbies and have need insurance for them, i will check with insurer next time i call in, might be an optional thing, maybe its to cover you if there insurance isnt good enough for any claim?

chances are he will end up doin 2 days after a while,id get him insured for being a 2 day worker at the least. plus buy his shoes and gloves and get receipts

[Steve Weatherley]

I agree. It won't cost much to insure him and kit him out - plus he will be a happy worker if you look after him. Also register him with HMRC - it's easy to do. I know because I do it and have somebody 2 days a week
