I'm not suggesting a PAYE option, aren't we self-employed? Contrary to popular belief/what we are lead to believe we are not! But how do self-employed tradesman get paid usually? Directly! Are they generally forced to use an umbrella company? No! They either get an accountant or do it themselves! Were we given that option? No! Do i need to go on?
Ultimately WE ARE EMPLOYED and any contract which states otherwise is horlicks! Subsequently we should, by law, all be entitled to the National Minimum Wage (calculated on the basis of our pay frequency, divided by the number of hours worked - fortnightly in our case) and if the said contract proves less favorable than the National Minimum Wage, then by law, it's overridden. Don't believe me? Go ahead, discuss it with Her Majesty's Customs and Revenue! Naturally, as employees we should all be entitled to 28 days holiday per year as well.
