thanks to the government completely half arsing everything i'm stuck having to work 9-5 every day in a building with hundreds of other people at a job that is absolutely not essential and i've got no choice until they willingly close the building because i don't get paid otherwise including if i catch coronavirus and have to stay off work because i'm illRocket Baby Dolls posted:Yesterday things were tightened at work, each starts later and finishes early. Social distancing is in place even though it's virtually impossible. A friend and colleague is now in isolation because his brother is ill. my work did this and i got in trouble for saying it was ridiculous when we'd all been sat next to each other all morning and why is the building even still open

lots of DnD stuff going on here which shouldn't be. if people want to rant because the governments convoluted method to try and avoid paying people so they can survive while unable to work thats fine but not arguments about how someone pays slightly less tax through their method of self employment

FullLeatherJacket posted:I wasn't around to do an Irwin R. Schyster run-in on the earlier discussion, but most company directors I'm involved with will pay themselves the £719 per month to take them up to the limit of when they would begin to pay NI/tax, meaning they actually pay less tax that way than by taking dividends only, as well as it counting towards their NI contribution years for state pension eligibility. You do have a very large head so I can believe all of this

wooger posted:So, what do the umbrella companies do, and why do they exist if you’re self employed? if you're a contractor you either start a company yourself or use an umbrella company. primarily they pay you via PAYE so you don't have to do taxes or anything but also they're clearly fiddling how they pay us becuase basic pay is min wage and then everything else i should be getting paid is commission from them. except the job i've got pays by the completed work so if you go over the minimum required you get paid for it
