I am hoping to reach people who have experience of the micro enterprise model, where individuals can use SDS budgets to purchase support from self-employed PA’s. As I understand it, the model is not uniformly implemented across all Scottish local authorities. I’m specifically looking for advice on the contractual arrangements.
Ayrshire Independent Living Network (AILN) might be the best people to contact. I don’t have up-to-date contact details but you could try Kirsti Bell at microenterprise@ailn.org or call 07951795337.
Hello,
I was going to ask if anyone has a contract for self-employed support workers. I have been employing staff only on self employed basis. We have a contract, but I feel that it should be updated. Wondering if anyone can help me. We employ 5 support workers —a different one every day. They work 5-6 hours a day. ( during the normal working hours.
Thank you
HI @julinka
You can download a template service agreement from the following page from the PA Handbook (see links at the bottom of the page): A Guide on how to set up as a Self-Employed PA - The SDS HandbookThe SDS Handbook
I have a slightly more detailed example that was created by a self-employed PA that I can send to you if you want to message me with your email address.
