How do salary scales apply to self employed staff who negotiate their contracts? As far as I can see there would be nothing to regulate what individuals charge their services out for. Not that I think people who are forced to go self employed deliberately undercut. There are indeed more organisations using the selfemployed and agency route to get out of having rolling contracts of employment that accrue the rights of full employee over time. There are lots of insidious perfectly legal ways that employers are finding to get round having fully time employees.
