TASK 3 J- salaries & self employment

The difference between the salaried and self employment range are very easily seen. As firstly most employees have rights which only apply to them, even though you maybe self employed you have to declare self employment and a CIS4 card doesn't mean your automatically self employed declared. You have to make sure that your true status of employment is shown to the government otherwise a lot of issues can accrue.

Factors Pointing Towards Employee Status

• You don't risk your own money as an employee and there is no probability of you losing money on a job.
•  You are paid by every hour,day,week or month which means regular income.
• You don't have to have business organisation of sorting out places, materials or workers which cause more stress.
• You supply your own small amount of tools
• The person you work for sorts out where you are previous to deadline and tells you timings and details of the job so you just turn up ready.

Factors Pointing Towards Self Employed Status

• You know all the materials and where everything is laid out previous to the jobs.
• If there is a profit over from the job and employees you take that home.
• You have the right to hire who ever you want and who answer to you and are paid by you.
• You decide what jobs are done by you and when there done by with an overall deadline.
• You work with a large number of people over the space of a year.

The major aspects of what employees get from the government in there favour of protection of unfair dismissal, the right of notice and redundancy pay, statutory sick pay, holiday pay and paternity pay.

So over all what I have looked through mostly as a make-up artists for less stress and a regular income being an employee is more of a better option as the benefits over come the benefits of being self employed. If you don't like being told what you do and like being your own boss than self employment is for you. But my point of view is that I would want mostly to know that every month I can pay for my rent without any worries.
