Invoice or employee

Hi everyone

I've recently set up a company and I'm looking some advice from anyone who can help.

I'm waiting on a call from my accountant but I'd like to hear from people in the industry too.

I set up a Chauffeur limited company and I want to take someone on to do a school run. I will be providing the vehicle and insurance.

They would work 4 hours a day 5 days a week 35 weeks of the year.

My question is, can that driver invoice me as a self employed person or do I have to take them on as an employee on payroll.

Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong thread.

Thanks.

The five-step decision-making framework
The following five questions will assist a business in deciding whether a contract is one “of service” (employee)

or “for service” ( self employed relationship)

Does the contract involve the exchange of a wage or other remuneration for work?

1 Has the worker agreed to provide their services personally and can they sub-contract their work?

2 Does the business control what, how, when and, or where the work is done?

3 If you answered "no" to any of the above questions, the worker is self-employed, subject to question 5.

If you answered "yes" to all three questions,

you should proceed to questions 4 and 5.

4 What do the facts and circumstances say about the true nature of the relationship between the business and the worker? Do the arrangements show that the worker is providing services on their own account or as an employee?

5 Is there any legislation that would change the answers to any of the above questions? For example, Section 112 of the Taxes Consolidation Act 1997 provides that office holders are always employees for taxation purposes.

I presume that you copied that from here?
It's better to credit/cite such sources in my opinion.
