This has been a long and interesting advert for BAJR... taking over a month to get to this stage... and boy have I talked to a lot of people about it - Inland Revenue 3 tiems, SWAT, IFA (off the record advice) you name it... I have made it clear that the person has to be independant.. and must have all the correct insurances (ie... use of transport as a work vehicle) the correct tools and be part of a fee based system, where finicial risk is shared... ie... day rate = £100 but what that actually includes... and precludes.. no pension contributions, no sickness, no holidays... for example. If you can finish the site quicker, then you make more profit, if not you lose money... your responsibilites as a self employed person is in this case a grey area issue.. ( after much discussion and assurances) The Inland Revenue are happy, as long as certain criteria are met... it is a very very complex issue.... It does come down to risk, to freedom of action, to provision of all the requirements - therefore, it would be unfair to then say... oh, you are working in Orkney, and you have to provide your own accomodation .... As it says on the advert... check with SWAT to find out the full details of the contractrual arrangements... each job will be different .. each project will require a different approach....
The advert is their... but the onus is on the responant to ensure they are both happy with what they are getting into.... and are complient with the legal position regarding employment/self employement

This is an unusual advert... but legally, stands...
"No job worth doing was ever done on time or under budget.."
