" THIS IS FOR GENUINE SELF EMPLOYED ARCHAEOLOGISTS ONLY "
What the bollox does this mean? It is the responsibility of the employer to establish the correct working status that he or she is contracting people under. Whether the applicant contractors are currently registered for self assessment makes no difference. If you are employing people in a way the HMRC would consider to be liable for employer contributions then whether they are "genuinely" self employed or promise to register next week it's irrelevant, surely!
