    Im going away for a week and just want to pay someone to cover me for a week. Do I have to set him up as an employee or can i pay him say €500 for the week from the company and leave it to him to sort tax...ect. My company is limited and I prefer to pay him through company rather than out of my own money.

    Just get an invoice from him stating that he was hired as a consultant for a week. Tax is his issue. You could put him on the payroll for the week, but he'd be gone by the time his tax info came in, so you'd probably have to do an emergency tax thing and then there's PRSI and the P45 and ... ugh! ... messy!

    I work as a freelance photographer and if I hire someone to do work for me I simply pay them a fee, they send me an invoice/receipt for it stating its paid and thats it.

    its their responsibility to sort out their financial affairs - if you are paying them €500 for the week.... you get a receipt from them for €500 for 1 weeks work X date to X date and you are done.

    *may not be the correct procedure but thats what I do.
