Employment characteristics: Employed
An employee works for an employer under an employment contract.
The job may be full-time or part-time, with set, shift-based or variable working hours.
The employer must provide a written statement explaining the main employment conditions, including pay, working hours, holiday entitlement and notice periods.
The employer normally deducts Income Tax and National Insurance through PAYE, where applicable.
Employees are entitled to employment rights, including paid annual leave, rest breaks, the National Minimum Wage and statutory sick pay when eligible.
Employment may be permanent, with no specified end date, or fixed-term, ending on an agreed date or following completion of a specific task.
The employer has responsibilities for the employee’s health, safety and welfare at work.
Employment characteristics: Self employed
A self-employed person runs their own business and takes responsibility for its success or failure.
A self-employed hairdresser may own a salon, work from home, provide a mobile service or rent a chair within another salon.
They are responsible for reporting their earnings to HMRC and paying any Income Tax and National Insurance that is due.
They are responsible for arranging suitable business insurance, such as public liability, professional treatment and product liability insurance.
Employers’ Liability insurance is normally required if they employ staff.
Self-employed people do not usually receive statutory holiday pay or sick pay because they do not have the employment rights of an employee.
They are responsible for their own business costs, equipment, records and financial risks.
Employment characteristics: Full time
Full-time work usually involves working 35 hours or more per week, although there is no legal number of hours that defines full-time work.
A person can work full-time as an employee or be self-employed.
Working hours may follow a set pattern, shifts or a flexible schedule.
Employees receive employment rights such as paid annual leave, whereas self-employed people arrange their own time off and do not usually receive holiday or sick pay.
Employees normally have tax and National Insurance deducted through PAYE. Self-employed people manage and pay their own tax and National Insurance.
Full-time workers may work in one location or across different locations, including within a salon, from home or as a mobile hairdresser.
Employment characteristics: Part time
Part-time work involves working fewer hours than a comparable full-time worker. There is no legal number of hours that defines part-time work.
A person can work part-time as an employee or be self-employed.
Working hours may be set, shift-based, flexible or vary each week.
Part-time employees receive the same employment rights as comparable full-time employees, although some entitlements are calculated in proportion to the hours worked.
Employees normally have tax and National Insurance deducted through PAYE. Self-employed people manage and pay their own tax and National Insurance.
Part-time working can help people balance employment with education, caring responsibilities or other commitments.
Employed persons should have a written contract of employment. What information do you think should be in that contract?
