Employed Vs Self-employed [Aug. 4th, 2008|10:40 pm]
Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry
I was given a pay rise today. They offered me a 10% rise. Thats nice. Unfortunately it was vaguely on the condition that I do the job I have been doing freelance for the last 5 years on a permanent basis. Despite this rise and 28 days paid holidays a year, I would actually be out of pocket as I'd have to be taxed as source, and I'd pay at least 5 grand more a year. So in effect they have offered me a pay cut! They've given me until the end of the week to decide, but I have decided to decline. What are they going to do? Sack me? Oh wait, they can't because I have no contract!

Maybe tell them what their offer actually means and try and renegotiate something better? It sounds as though they're pretty clueless.

yeah, I've worked out that they are offering me the bare minimum legally speaking. I have an appointment with the directors tomorrow morning where I'm telling them to stuff it! Maybe looking for new work soon! ha ha!
