We have no problem with paying any good staff double digit rates as long as they are reliable and conscientious.And people wonder why they can't find staff or grumble at a double digit hourly charge

Over £100 per week for damage to equipment is not that. Hence why they weren't asked back
If you're self employed on an hourly rate you're covered by your employer's insurance.
If you're in working to a set price, you're a "Contractor" and must have your own insurance.

Minimum wage is roughly £8.50 per hr. Once you add holidays (about 15% of worked time ) the true minimum wage is roughly £10.20. So you think that you are being good paying minimum wages while dodging employers pension contributions, NI contributions and supplying PPE.

No, I have similar cover, its a legal requirement as far as I know. Was explained to me as cover if I was ever sued or a member of the public was injured due to my actions.Does that mean I've been wasting all my money having £5M of Professional Indemnity insurance cover whilst on a per hour contract?
We were told we would not be able to continue as a fencing contractor for the County Council unless we paid to be vetted (painful ) and join an approved contractor scheme. Its easy they said!! After, numerous wasted hours I basically told them I wasnt interested and you will have to get another contractor. Guess what, 2 months later and I am being asked to quote on jobs and some 3-4 years later we are still doing work for them and the scheme has never been mentioned again.
If self employed you can claim a tax rebateEvening,
We seem to be employing or using more self employed people for seasonal work. We have always just taken their invoice and paid as we go along. All nice and simple but now we are being told we need to see copies of their insurance. I assume that’ll be the public liability insurance? Does anyone else do this?
