When you are employed you have an employment relationship with your employer. You might think it is quite straightforward to determine the nature of your employment relationship and for many people it is, you turn up for work when you are required, and you do the job you are told to do. Your employer pays your tax through PAYE and you get paid holidays and either sick pay or statutory sick pay (if you earn enough) and your employer pays Employers National Insurance contributions for you.
