Dear All, A colleague who is on a self employed contract, as a librarian, is now being asked to renegotiate the contract to take out indemnity insurance, and is, understandably, worried about this. It is the more odd, as she is to retire in six months time. She has been seeking advice, and it has been suggested that, as she works to a line manager who is directly employed by the organisation, her employment will be deemed by HMRC as employment rather than self employment, and thus, she would have to carry out some adverse activity completely outwith her contract/JD for any suggestion of sueing her to have any validity. Can anyone on the list make any helpful comment / suggestions as to who to contact for advice ? [I gather CILIP were not helpful, as not having met the situation before ...]. Is anyone on the list also on a self-employed contract ? It is not something I've come across before - I've either been employed direct by the organisation or via an agency. Yours sincerely, Elizabeth Nokes Elizabeth Nokes Librarian IGA/GAS Library Institute of Group Analysis 1 Daleham Gardens London NW3 5BY Tel 020 7431 2693 Fax 020 7431 7246 Email: [log in to unmask] Available at the following times: Tuesday and Wednesday: 11.00 a.m. to 17.00 p.m ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.
