I'm not sure if this will help Claire, but.... people who are contracted in to work with students at NTU are paid through our payroll office who sort out tax insurance etc, but they are not employees. We also have some individuals, interpreters usually who prefer to claim self employed status, however, they do need to have registered with the tax office as such. hope that helps a bit!
