LH and Graces dad maybe you could share the lad and not in wivers way of sharing.

If you guys are close and you have few jobs on give the guy a few weeks just to see if he is up to doing the job maybe he will not like the work. I know couple of joiners that have a guy working for them one guy is main employer and he then subs guy out at cheaper rate. It works for them but suppose depends how much work you have on.

what did you tell him mark you didnt have enough work on

Not really Lee. I'm getting to the point now where I could do with an extra pair of hands but I would rather pay someone experienced a decent rate.
I'd rather turn quality jobs around faster and build my business and reputation faster that way first, before I start making money from employing others - if ever. (besides, I'm not very patient!)
When I found out he was 16 I suggested he approach a larger firm and try for a modern apprenticeship.

I've been told that for tax and employment reasons, it is possible to pay someone say £100 a day and they then give you an invoice for £100 meaning they are then responsible for their tax / NI etc etc. You can't do this indefinitely though, although I've no idea if it's even true / legal. (Grumps???)

They would need to be registered as self employed to do this, BUT, if they only work for the one "contractor" the Revenue can deem that they are actually "employed" by that contractor and would insist that PAYE was carried out correctly, and therefore, holiday pay, sick pay, redundancy etc. etc................

Hi there all,
My daughter is in the process of looking for work in tiling.She has done her course and had some work with our friend who is a plumber but his tiling jobs are few and far between.She has tried the big firms and they all want tilers with a lot of experience,not sure how you are meant to get that if no one will take you on!!
The jobs she has done the coustomer and the plumber were very pleased with her work,she enjoys it and takes a lot of pride in the end result.
To be taken on as an apprentice would be ideal for her,not enough confidance to go it on her own.She lives in the North London area so if any one is looking for a keen and hard working apprentice give me a shout.
