I'm in the process of turning my sole trader business into a Ltd. Co. I'm getting quite busy at the moment, so much so that's it's taking over my life too much. I'm thinking about taking on someone.
The only problem is, I'm not sure how long this extra build up of work will last. So the employment would need to be short term. What's the best approach to something like this? Is it best just to pay the person as a contractor, or put them on the books as an employee and see how it goes? I know with the 'employee' option, I would need to pay PRSI etc. Basically, is it more hassle than it's worth to put someone on the books for a only a short term, i.e. paperwork etc.?
Just looking for general advice/tips at this stage. Thanks!
