Dear all
I think that whoever is advertising this has misunderstood what
"freelance" means. A fixed fee for specific numbers of days per week is
a short-term contract post, not a freelance contract. I suspect that for
tax purposes this would look like employment rather than a freelance
contract as it requires more than half the worker's time for two years.
