Was wondering if anyone knows where I stand, I am a chef and my husband has his own catering business, I am on maternity benefit at the moment, and due back to work in june. My husband has been trying to get a chef with not much luck. I always helped out when hes busy but with two kids now on top of working probably not as a much. We then talked about me leaving my job and working for him, which would be ideal, really as I could get the work done and work around the kids etc. We have asked several people accountants , business people and get all different answers. He is a sole trader, CAn I work for him , get paid a wage, prsi contributions etc and am I still entitled to all my entitlements, ie if I were to have another baby will I get maternity benefit, sickness benefit , dental benefit, state pension, come the time. As we don't want to go ahead with this if I lose all of these as he has none as a sole trader, some say I can, some say I can't, and when you even ring revenur etc don't get a straight answer. Thanks in advance
