- Workers, self-employed contractors or company contractors are not employees of KindCare at Home Ltd.

Workers may be used where there is a required by KinCare At Home. Workers will, therefore, be engaged “ad hoc” and will not have regular set hours of Work.
- KindCare at Home Ltd has no obligation to offer any work at all to a worker and the worker has no obligation to accept any work offered. As workers are not guaranteed a minimum number of hours each week and may not receive any work at all, workers are free to engage in other work or activity for other employers.
- Workers are only entitled to be paid in respect of the work that they undertake. Workers will not be paid when they are not carrying out work for KindCare at Home Ltd.
- Self-employed contractors and Company Contractors are not employees and are not workers. Self-employed contractors and Company Contractors work for themselves, do not have to perform tasks themselves, can choose when and how to do the work, can work for other individuals and companies and are responsible for their own tax and National Insurance Contributions.
It is anticipated that KindCare at Home Ltd will only engage self-employed contractors in appropriate circumstances for a particular project.
