Casual employment

adrian92

Have an informal arrangement for many years with a company. Clean their office each week. Paid from the company to my bank account. Social Welfare asked me my employment status. I don't know.

Total monthly income is 250 euro.

Am I employed or self-employed?

Code of Practice on Determining Employment Status6

3. Typical characteristics of an employee

While all of the following factors may not apply, an individual would normally be an employee if he

or she:

• Is under the control of another person who directs them as to how, when and where the work

is to be carried out,

• Supplies labour only,

• Receives a fixed hourly/weekly/monthly wage,

• Cannot subcontract the work,

• Does not supply materials for the job,

• Does not provide equipment other than the small tools of the trade,

• Is not exposed to personal financial risk in carrying out the work,

• Does not assume any responsibility for investment and management in the business,

• Does not have the opportunity to profit from sound management in the scheduling of

engagements or in the performance of tasks arising from the engagements,

• Works set hours or a given number of hours per week or month,

• Works for one person or for one business,

• Receives expense payments to cover subsistence and/or travel expenses,

• Is entitled to sick pay or extra pay for overtime,

• Is obliged to perform work on a regular basis that the employer is obliged to offer to them

(this is known as ‘mutuality of obligation’),

• Has their tax deducted from their wages through the PAYE system

Do you give them an invoice or receipt? You're self employed.

Do they give you a payslip? You're employed.

Neither- You need to ask the company

Buf I'd guess most likely self employed.

Have you ever told Revenue about it?
