In the UK, are self-employed workers entitled to ''leave'' from work as are employed people?

You can give yourself as much time off as you want. You can also pay yourself whatever you want while you're not working... just remember to declare it accurately to your accountants and the tax office.

There is no maximum time limit on how long you are permitted to stay out of the UK on a work permit.  However this leave should be authorised by your employer, unless you are working for an overseas branch or subsidiary for short periods .

If you are legally being paid under an employment contract, there is absolutely no reson why you should not be a WORKER! only workers are employed. However if you are not a worker and you are collecting, like some people do fraud, you know collect when they are not working, then when they catch you, you will go straight to jail for fraud and instead of enjoying worker's benifit like a real worker should then you will be branded for life. Choose the right path. be safe.

Depends on what employer is is.  I am self employed and I will defend myself.

Ironically as I understand it there is NO legal right to a so called 'bank holiday' as a day off or to take it as a day in lieu if it falls on a normal day off. I have just quickly confirmed this is correct, type in 'bank holiday working legislation' in google and there is a mass of info for you. Obviously many even most employers do treat bank holidays as a day you are entitled to but you appear perhaps to be working for a 21st century Mr. Scrooge. Also traditionally certain trades esp the building trades always close at Christmas and new year for obvious reasons and, depending upon the terms of employment they might be agreed to be part of your holiday entitlement over which you have no option but to accept what your employer says. You should ask to see your contract of employment, every employee is entitled to one. If you still can not find the answers try your local citizens advise centre, & or the library and they may help you with useful links or local advice centres.

Most employment is "at will", i.e. it can be terminated by either party at any time with whatever notice (if any) a party wishes to give.  A 2 week notice by an employee has become an accepted practice but an employee owes an employer no notice should the employee quit and not want to give notice.\n\nLikewise, the employer owes the employee no notice.  Many employers decide not to have a departing employee talking to other employees for 2 weeks and just let them go with no notice to avoid that.\n\nBut that means the employee has been terminated and did not resign because the termination was before the termination  became effective.\n\nYou do not have to be paid for the 2 weeks if, as my entire answer has been predicated on, we are talking about "at will"employment with no other employment contract issues.

No, it is not a state law. It is, however, a common company policy. Since CA is a "work at will" state, your employment may be terminated for any reason.

Yes, but only if services are actually rendered.  Depending on the corporate structure (i.e., if it's a partnership, sole proprietorship or LLC taxed as a proprietorship or partnership) the person will be subject to self-employment tax of I believe 15.3%.  Talk to a CPA.

I would be inclined to check out the tax office to see where you stand on making your tax and ni payments.  If you don't have a contract that states that they'll be paying it you are effectively classed as self employed and therefore responsible for paying your own tax and ni.\n\nHope this helps\n\nDawn\nhttp://www.quitthat9to5.com

Yes. There is a such thing in some states called ( a right to work state). This mean they don't have to have a reason. That don't mean that their always right and you sould still be eligable for unemployment.

As long as you are employed by that company you are on PAYE scheme which deduct tax and NI on a monthly or weekly basis from your wages.

Generally not unless you have some contractual agreement.  Many states have what's called a "right to work" system which means that employers have the right to terminate your employment at anytime for any reason (as log it those reasons are not discriminatory).  On the flip side, the employee has the same right that they can leave at anytime with no foul.  A common example of this is when a woman leaves for maternity leave and enjoys benefits, like paid time off.  Then, at the end of the leave period she decides not to come back.  It happens all the time.  Employers generally don’t have much remedy here – and frankly it’s not good press to go after new mothers to try to recover anything.  As an employer I view this possibility as simply being a cost of business.  There are federal laws protecting pregnant women’s employment rights, so you have to give them leave and hope they come back. \n\nI would advise that you check out a couple of websites in your state if you live in the US.  Check out your state's government’s labor division - here in Texas it is called the Texas Workforce Commission.  Also check out your state's Attorney General's web page.    Both of these sites should have information specific to your area.  Also check out the US Department of Labor website – it has a lot of good information on your rights under the FMLA (federal medical leave act) as it defines employee rights and employer obligations under the law.\n\nGood luck.

Depends on the state you're in and the employer. In my opinion, the employment contract is initially breached by the employee no longer performing as expected/demanded. The employer has well within his rights to terminate that employee.

not if you are voluntarily leaving a job.  you have had to be layed off only.

I don't believe your employer is able to send you home for being ill unless it is outlined in your employment contract.  If you have sick leave they may be able to send you home. I am not sure. But if they send you home I don't know if they could dock you pay.

Self employemnt just means you work for yourself-- it can be cleaning homes, lawyers, consult, fix computers or sell tamales to friends. Get a business license from the city you operate in.  If have employees, then need to get workers compensagion insurance plus IRS tax ID number plus will need to pay employee taxes.  ALL  income is taxable when self employed- but get a good tax preparer so you get ALL deductions.

No, because where I live you can be fired for ANY reason or NO REASON AT ALL. Consider that I've also seen racially motivated firings where the people who lost their jobs had no rights or protection at all. Also in my state the labor board will only enforce minimum wage without a contract. I've seen people put in a two week notice at a job only to have their last paycheck dropped to minimum wage out of revenge for them leaving. These laws favor corporations, not workers rights at all. I see nothing fair about that. To change these laws in our favor I'd be willing to see a law mandating giving at least a weeks notice before quitting a job. And the employer has to accept it, not tell you just to hit the door because you put in a notice.
