The Production Midget Posted February 19, 2005 Posted February 19, 2005 Hi all, I've just discovered that I 'should' be issuing terms and conditions to all my employers when freelancing. Is this something that other people do and if so what should these 'terms and conditions' consist of. Can anyone cast any light on this? Any help would be appreciated!
Dazzler Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 What format do these "terms and conditions" take. I'm a bit confused (admittedly, it doesn't take much) by what they could mean. Is it to do with how long they expect you to work? or is it a list of your duties?Can you explain a bit more about them? Dazzler
Bryson Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 The recent discussion on the PSA Standard Contract might be useful, as might membership of the PSA itself. Also, try checking out this thread as well. What do you do, out of interest?
Guest lightnix Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Hello, Production Midget, welcome to the Blue Room :D The short answer is "Yes", if you are self-employed and "No" if you are working for people who tax you at source, under PAYE. The practice is not widespread, as many "clients" don't like having crew waving T&Cs at them. I wouldn't worry, though, in the event that the Inland Revenue decide that the terms under which you have been booked define you as a temporary employee, it will be your clients who pick up any outstanding tax liability, not you. For yet more info on employment vs. self-employment, click here, here, here and here.
The Production Midget Posted February 21, 2005 Author Posted February 21, 2005 Thanks for all your help. I suspected that I would need to head in the direction of the PSA for an answer. I'll give Andy a ring and talk it over.
