What do other organisations do about the employment status of the person(s)
doing charity shop trawls for donated goods? At the moment ours is treated
as self-employed and is paid at a fixed rate for distributing and
collecting 500 bags. However there seems to be some doubt about whether we
really ought to be treating him as an employee. In either case he ought to
have a proper contract, but obviously the terms will be very different
depending on which is correct and we have also been advised that the terms
of any contract we agree will be relevant to the question of employee vs.
self-employed status.
