redundancy shall i shant i what you think

[lee_capri]

i f**king hate my job and have been offered a large amount of cash to leave but i louse my regular income from work,

 

but on the plus side

 

i can have another job with the same firm doing some thing different but self employed and on monthly pay not weekly,

 

which would mean i leave my job on Friday and start my new job on Monday but it's scary as been doing my job last 6yrs,im also sick of getting up at 4.30am to get ready for work and the money is s**t in the job right now

 

bonus would be il have even more free time on my hand's to do my thing's like dealing and any-thing else that come's up and pay's cash,

 

what you think

[bigdaz27]

[Copey]

tempted to agree

[oldbus]

Are they offering you a decent length contract with the new job?

[walsh253]

its not easy being self employed, all depends on if you have someone to cover the bills if your work goes belly up if not you could lose everything

[barney9969]

what ever makes you happy .... you have to like your work...money is not everything but it beats the shit out of being poor....

[bigdaz27]

they are taking the piss out of you take the cash by law if you get offerd redundancy and thre is other jobs in the company they have to other them to you as well as the cash but this dose not mean they will be

suitable or in the same place you work at the moment this happend to my dads mate his new job was 80 miles away from his home take te cash well you can

Advantages of being on a contract -

annual leave

pension

advantages of being agency staff -

 

more time to yourself perhaps

Pay your money and take your choice!

A word or two of advice. If you go self-employed but are only contracting to one company, the tax man considers you to be still emploted by that company and you lose some of the advantages of self-employment. You should keep records of other jobs you do to prove your truly self-employed.

Get yourself an accountant. preferably another one-man band, they are usually simpathetic and can advise the best actions to take.

I went self-employed 27 years ago, its been hardwork but rewarding.

Wishing the best of luck for the future.
