I had a job interview this week, but at the interview I found out I wouldn't be an employee, I'd be self employed.
It's a third sector company and they've set the rate of pay at £19p/h, part time. I have no idea what that would look like after paying tax, national insurance, and a private pension. I realise I'm also missing out on employer pension contributions, sick pay, holiday pay … I worry it wouldn't end up any more than minimum wage in real terms.
I feel a bit blindsided and not sure if this is a red flag or not. Why would a company do this?
