I am...
I have Employers Liability Insurance.
My staff have the correct employment status. (i.e I don’t have any freelancers who could qualify to be employees or workers).
My employed staff have written contracts of employment (aka written statement of employment particulars).
I have a staff handbook that my staff can access with my yard policies and rules.
My employed staff are paid at least the National Minimum Wage for their age for every hour they work.
I pay my employed staff by PAYE.
My staff that qualify for a workplace pension receive it. (or have had the option to opt out in writing)
My employed staff have their annual paid leave entitlement, and I operate a holiday chart to ensure they all get to take their leave during the year.
My employed staff work the legal working hours for their age.
I log my employed staff’s working hours and could display them for audit at any time.
My staff are aware of the health and safety requirements expected of them and there is a Health and Safety policy and risk assessments in place.
I have an open two way communication with my employed staff and ensure that they are comfortable to raise issues and they are aware there is a process in place for any concerns they raise.

Based on your answers
You only use the services of freelancers.
It’s important to make sure your freelancers are genuinely self-employed and that your working relationship reflects this.
You still have legal responsibilities to anyone who works on your yard. The EEA can help you understand what is required.
