have you ever employed anyone? try it, you have to pay for everything, stamp, insurance, sick pay, products, repairs, salaries, overheads, rent, advertising, tax, fuel, etc etc thats before you even start to make any profit to pay yourself and feed your children
many people are self employed and work for companies. this makes them free agents to work in several jobs if they so wish. why should 1 individual trying to start a business take on board every single piece of risk to get started? isnt that individual also entitled to some time with his or her family too?

I haven't no, but if I did I would firstly check the personal/career references and vet my staff via interview..
Hopefully this would weed out the drunks?
In my mind if you are an employer the onus is on you to provide a contract of employment to safeguard said employee and yourself.
What this contract contains is up to yourself and is agreed upon by your staff before signing.
I don't know where you get the idea I was suggesting that as an employer you wouldn't get time with family?..
Bottom line is it is unworkable, to have casual workers register as self employed, how would they pay tax? 4 jobs, with 4 salaries, over 4 differing timescales?
The fact of the matter is any employer knows now they have the unemployed by the short and curlies!
they need you more than you need them, and so wages have been driven down in all sectors as supply exceeds demand.
If you think this is good for bosses bank balances you would be right, if you think it is good for society and the country as a whole you would be very very wrong.
