Agree with all points above..
(the Approved BAJR rates, are not price fixing, they are simply raets that I personally will not allow to be posted on BAJR - it is a case of take it or leave it... pay more, pay less... but you will not get on, if you pay below my minima)
At the end of the day the only body that can make a 'binding' decision on your employment status would be Customs and Revenue.... as it is complicated... and as my granny used to say... don't be the ass in assume. (I thought it was ok, is not going to cut it, if it is not, and believe me, the IR don't really care how you feel, they care only about how they interpret the situation - ie.. the accomodation situation)
As a self employed person, you can work for whatever you want... you could do it for 30 quid for all I care... at the end of the day, you will be the one who loses out. (to return to the origin of this thread, the company had placed adverts on BAJR for staff.. on 60 quid a day... they failed both times to mention that these posts were on self employed basis... and had this been known, they would not have been posted.
Knowledge is important in what you do, how you do it, and why.
Get yourself informed. Again... I throw down the gauntlet.. if you want to improve the guide (written by a rather expereiinced person a few years back) ... feel free...
