In order to make sure you have the best defence possible, we will review your working arrangements and contract(s) to provide recommendations to strengthen your existing terms. If you do not currently have a contract, we can draft one for you that is specific to your business, industry, and your people.

Perhaps you believe you are a genuine contracting business, but have inadvertently gotten into the business of labour supply and need help navigating the very specific rules which govern this element of your business – or want to ensure you don’t fall foul of them altogether.

After learning about your business, HQ35 will provide you with an easy to follow engagement advice that works for you, designed to underpin your new, robust contractual terms. This will ensure that, in practice, you remain fully compliant not only with your new contractual terms, but also the tests of genuine self-employment.

Following this process, we will provide you with a written confirmation of your compliance, demonstrating valuable due diligence has been undertaken, mitigating penalties resulting from an employment status dispute with HMRC.

If our recommendations are adopted and our guidance followed, you might like to engage us on a retainer, providing you with ultimate peace of mind. In addition to providing you with a robust defence against an HMRC status challenge on the above areas, we will keep you updated with any changes you need to be aware of. We’ll also be on hand to answer day-to-day queries, and conduct annual reviews to ensure your compliance remains up to scratch.
