IR35 - a pain in the neck? (webinar)
2022-03-10 13:00 - 14:30 UTC | Online event
The off-payroll working rules (commonly known as IR35) mean that engaging self employed workers has become more difficult and comes with some additional risks to businesses and individuals.

This means that many chiropractic (and other health care) clinic owners may need to re-assess how they engage their associates and consider changing the way they run their business to reduce any risk to them. Equally, individual chiropractors need to consider the options open to them and how to operate within the law.
The Employment law team at Willans LLP are pleased to present a FREE webinar specifically designed to help chiropractors and other health care professionals to make these important decisions, to navigate their way through these responsibilities, and what they need to consider when deciding to employ individuals.

Topics covered:

Self-employed v employee: what are the key differences?
Implications of the off payroll working rules (IR35): your responsibilities
The basics of employment law and your responsibilities as an employer
How can you engage ‘self-employed’ without risk?
Interactive Q&A
