Contracts for Services for Subcontractors

Perhaps you don’t have a contract for services, or maybe one so out of date that a brand new set of terms would be the best course of action. Your contract for services is a vital component of your defence in the event of an employment status challenge.

It is imperative that the terms of your contract reflect what actually happens in practice. A generic, ‘self-employed’ contract won’t protect you if it does not reflect the real working arrangements.

We will review your engagements and working arrangements to ensure the way you work reflects genuine self-employment. Once that’s been established, we will draft your contract for you so that you have the best opportunity to defend your position should HMRC challenge the status of your engagement, or should a subcontractor seek employment or worker rights.
