employment issue

[Pronylee]

hi guys need clarifications on some issues with my employer and would be grateful for any help on the matter
can anyone give me an understanding on how national insurance contributions works
my employer claimed i was not an employee of them but used the full class 1 and 1a insurance contribution
they claimed i was a payee contractor
what section of the law say they can make such deductions and yet not my employer
are they meant to pay employers contribution under the law since i was a contractor

would be grateful if someone helps

Re: employment issue

Are you PAYE or do you sort your own tax returns and payments?

Re: employment issue

You can't really be a contractor after 12 years! What reason do they give for saying you are a contractor? Could it be to get out of providing holiday and sick pay? Talk to HMRCS.

There is a section of the law that allows them to deduct tax from a contractor. I believe that NI is a different matter.
