Hi Everyone and firstly thanks to everyone who takes the time on this site to help others, it's really appreciated.
I'm looking for some help in several areas just to see whether I need to take this a more formal legal route...
Situation is....
I was self employed and started working for a company who promised to employ me shortly. I had to provide all my existing customer information, could not perform any work for other customers, had to arrive/leave at set times and work was allocated to me. I had to provide my tools for the works but anything we did not have was provided by the company. I had an email address for the company, was responsible for staff and stood in for the Director on vacation..I could not employ others to assist or determine order of works, had to provide a weekly timesheet (and invoice for hours fortnightly) and any contact with the customer was done via the company. would these items contribute to me being seen as an employee? I now no longer work in this way, have other contracts and invoice the company on a job by job basis.
This leads onto my next question...an invoice for works I performed was paid to me but subsequently the customer contacted to company and their invoice is now in dispute. I have had no opportunity to work with the customer to resolve and invoices for other works performed by me are now not being paid.. can a company offset invoices for one contract against another?
Thanks in advance and if any more info is needed please just let me know,
