THems the joys of employing

Only other way is to set them up a self employed and they pay their own, but you will have headache keeping it seperate to satisfy tax man and you will probably have to pay them extra to do that, plus by then you might as well employ for the extra, but to be brutally honest if you cant see the point in paying 500 quid or so then maybe you are employing too soon because there will be many more costs than that, as an employee should more than cover there own costs and make you a bit on top

Unless you need him for just one job or something in which case like i say get them to get there own like you and offer to pay it or something??

LOL, whats the betting you are not actually employing as such by paying holiday pay, sickness pay and employers NI contributions.

In that case your probably saying they are working as a contractor or self employed (technically if they are working from your van, using your equipments - they can not be classed as a contractor and have the legal right to seek employment from you) - so you better ensure you have contractors insurance.
