About this event

Protect your organisation from employment and tax risk with practical guidance on contractor and worker engagement models.

With increased Employer National Insurance Contributions and enhanced employee protections under the Employment Rights Act 2025, many organisations are reassessing how they engage casual workers, self-employed contractors and personal service companies.

In this practical and highly relevant session, Clive Day, Partner at Knights, will explore the advantages, risks and legal implications of different employment and contracting models. Delegates will gain clear, actionable guidance on choosing the right structure for their organisation while managing employment law and tax risks effectively.


Key practical takeaways include:

  • Understanding the differences between employees, workers and self-employed contractors
  • Reducing legal and financial risks when engaging casual labour
  • The tax and employment implications of off-payroll arrangements
  • Practical guidance on personal service companies and agency models
  • Common pitfalls employers should avoid
  • Recent legal developments and what they mean for businesses in practice


The session will conclude with an interactive Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to discuss current challenges and practical workplace scenarios.
