AM I AT RISK?
Without a full assessment of your business and how you work it is difficult to say, but it is essential that the workers you use are engaged correctly on a self-employed basis, a key component being that they are working under contracts that allow the subcontractor to work freely, without day to day supervision, direction or control over how they work.
We can understand many construction business owners, believing or hoping it's as simple as finding a lawyer to draft a contract of self-employment covering the relationship between the worker and the construction firm.
Unfortunately as you would guess it is not as simple as that. It is a complex issue, with many elements that need to work together to give you the protection you need and confidence to be working under safe CIS.
Aggregate Partners LLP can help and whether you engage us or not we will carry out a full risk assessment of your current arrangements and provide you with different options to consider that can ensure you are not at risk.
