Akin to employed what does that mean?
The terms of contracts used by service company workers who obtain engagements through agencies tend to be of a standard form. Such contracts typically require the worker to work on the clients premises, use the clients equipment, work standard hours, submit weekly timesheets, be paid at an hourly rate and be subject to a high level of to control. In such cases, the opinion of the Inland Revenue about the engagement is likely to be that it would be employment. If the above applies then the contractor will be classed as akin to employed.
