A person is generally classed as a 'worker' if:

they have a contract or other arrangement to do work or services personally for a reward (a contract can be written or unwritten)

their reward is for money or a benefit in kind, for example the promise of a contract or future work

they only have a limited right to send someone else to do the work (subcontract)

their employer has to have work for them to do as long as the contract or arrangement lasts

they are not doing the work as part of their own limited company in an arrangement where the 'employer' is actually a customer or client

Employment rights

Workers are entitled to certain employment rights, including:

They may also be entitled to:

Workers usually are not entitled to:

Casual or irregular work

Someone is likely to be a worker if most of these apply:

they occasionally do work for a specific business

the business does not have to offer them work and they do not have to accept it - they only work when they want to

their contract with the business uses terms like 'casual', 'freelance', 'zero hours', 'as required' or something similar

they had to agree with the business's terms and conditions to get work - either verbally or in writing

they are under the supervision or control of a manager or director

they cannot send someone else to do their work

the business deducts tax and National Insurance contributions from their wages

the business provides materials, tools or equipment they need to do the work

You're self-employed if you run your own business as an individual and work for yourself. This is also known as being a 'sole trader'.

You can keep all your business's profits after you've paid tax on them. You're personally responsible for any losses your business makes. You must also follow certain rules on running and naming your business.

When you need to set up as a sole trader

You need to set up as a sole trader if any of the following apply:

you earned more than £1,000 from self-employment between 6 April 2022 and 5 April 2023

you need to prove you're self-employed, for example to claim Tax-Free Childcare

you want to make voluntary Class 2 National Insurance payments to help you qualify for benefits

How to set up as a sole trader

To set up as a sole trader, you need to tell HMRC that you pay tax through Self Assessment. You'll need to file a tax return every year.

Register for Self Assessment.

Your responsibilities

You'll need to:

You'll need to apply for a National Insurance number if you're moving to the UK to set up a business.

You must register for VAT if your turnover is over £85,000. You can register voluntarily if it suits your business, for example if you sell to other VAT-registered businesses and want to reclaim the VAT.

Working in construction industry

Register with HMRC for the Construction Industry Scheme ( CIS) if you're working in the construction industry as a subcontractor or contractor.

Naming your business

You can trade under your own name, or you can choose another name for your business. You do not need to register your name.

You must include your name and business name (if you have one) on official paperwork, for example invoices and letters.

Choosing your business name

Sole trader names must not:

include 'limited', 'Ltd', 'limited liability partnership', 'LLP', 'public limited company' or 'plc'

be offensive

You need to get permission if your name contains a 'sensitive' word or expression, or suggests a connection with government or local authorities. For example, to use 'Accredited' in your business name, you need permission from the Department for Business and Trade ( DBT).

Check which words you need permission to use, and who from.

If you choose a name or logo that's registered as a trade mark or is already being used, the owner could take legal action against you.

If you register a trade mark, it's easier to stop other businesses using your name or logo.

Help and support

You can sign up for business support emails from HMRC to help you if you're working for yourself.

My name is Katy. I am a services support assistant for Breast Cancer Now.

I've done a bit of office management as well. I've temped for a hospital, again, doing administrative duties for theatre. And that's really sort of helped add loads and loads of different types of admin strategies and understanding of different systems to my repertoire.

My current role involves being that first point of contact for any person diagnosed with breast cancer who wants to access our services. You learn so much doing administrative duties as well, because even though the absolute core of what you do is like spreadsheets, registrations, emails, answering the phone, you get so much knowledge about the company for which you work.

Something that over the years I've learnt is equally as important is understanding your company's style of communication. Sort of taking that time when you're new into a role to think like, how are they sending emails? What sort of tone do we use? How do we answer the phone? How would we phrase a certain thing?

My favourite thing about my job is, and it sounds so cheesy, but it's just helping people do what they want to be able to do. So whether that be someone who wants to access support, whether that be my colleague who wants to revamp the way that we send emails to someone. Being able to support people, to expand both the service that we are providing and how they work within their job. It's really, really rewarding for me.
