What are the nuances of being self-employed?

Question

Freelance

Hello, the crux of the matter. The office offers to work with them on a self-employed basis. What are the pitfalls? What should be considered when working in this way? I know that now 80% of employers sin with this.

Upd. The work is remote.

Answer 1

1. Independent accounting, communication with the tax office, writing checks.
2. Lack of pensions, tax deductions, banks give loans very badly
3. The tax authorities are aware of these schemes and are closely monitoring them. If a person worked for a company, and then suddenly became self-employed with the only client - the same company, then this is a red flag for the tax, that there is a substitution of concepts. You need to be ready for this.

Answer 2

When you are self-employed, clearly speak with the employer:
1. Vacation - conditions, payment, etc.
2. Sick days - how many days can you get sick without a sick leave, are sick days required at all, how much are paid
3. Taxes (you must transfer an additional 6% that you will pay to the tax office)
4. Since the employer does not pay deductions to the pension for you, etc. .P. funds - it saves about 30% of your salary. Usually in such a scheme they offer a salary slightly above the market. Is it bad? Decide for yourself.
You need to understand that being self-employed / individual entrepreneur you do not have the official right to vacation and sick leave, that is, you rest and get sick for free. But most employers working under this scheme try to compensate for this in one way or another.
Regarding the labor code and guarantees, I can tell a lot of stories about the dismissal of objectionable employees in one day. From completely white companies with official employment. And about the lack of vacations, and about the lack of promised employment bonuses.
I can also tell you a lot about pensions and "free" medicine, unfortunately... Therefore, whether it is necessary to pay pension and insurance contributions from the official salary is a very ambiguous question.
In general, I like the job - the method of employment is not too important. They want to throw - throw in any case.

Answer 3

If 80% of the proposals do not include work on shopping mall - perhaps you are doing something wrong. Judging by your questions - you are rushing from side to side with zero exhaust. First php, then node.js, then wordpress, then vue, sysadmin, devops. Just choose a direction already, master it and get normal offers without this one.

Answer 4

Cons in general have already been described. The pros are mentioned in passing.
Nuances? Perhaps only one, but very difficult - the employer usually offers this, keeping in mind the idea that everything will be the same as with an ordinary employee, only cheaper.
There is no need to provide a workplace (yes, when working remotely, this is quite a headache for the employer) - in general, a trifle. Savings on taxes, rent (not always significant), the actual transfer of costs to OPEX (yes, this is very rude, I know).
... it's clear everything.
But in the head of the employer, when the relationship began in the classicremain the same relationship, only at a lower cost. You, apart from a clearly described work (usually not even work, but the result), do not owe anything. Ask to replace someone or take someone's job for a while - through the add. contract. Yes, the work itself becomes more honest and understandable, but unusually long enough.

Answer 5

You have a strange opinion that 80 percent of employers sin with this, if they loaded it like that, taxes would sag wildly
Pitfalls the labor code does not apply, you work under a contract

Answer 6

If the payment is large and regular, the interest of the tax authorities is theoretically possible - "what kind of evasion scheme is this."

Answer 7

Being self-employed is profitable if you were awarded alimony
