The off-payroll rules (aka IR35) came into effect for the public sector in April 2017. Ever since that date, it’s been down to the client to determine whether their contractors or freelancers are working within the rules.

Traditional HR departments are used to dealing with employees. The whole structure, strategy, processes and procedures are set up for this.

With the trend towards remote working – even for full-time employees – businesses are being forced to think differently about their working practices. This requires a change in attitude but it’s one worth adopting, given that happier staff lead to a happy work environment.

With the green light given from the business for a Freelancer Management System (FMS), you’ll want to prepare for the implementation and adoption phase.
