The current rules that exist will continue until April 2021 rather than this year to allow businesses the opportunity to navigate their way through the Covid-19 pandemic.
Fear not, we have the solution to make the changes much easier and simpler than you think it might be – read on to find out more…
What do the changes mean?
- The main change will be that the responsibility of defining the status of the assignment along with reasoning, will be with the client (medium or large sized private sector companies) who receives the services rather than the individual’s Ltd company
- Workers will be able to dispute the determination given to them if they disagree with the decision
- All companies must take ‘reasonable care’ when making the assessment, which is why a blanket approach will not achieve this
