‘Bogus’ contract status of workers revealed

The tax system is facilitating bogus self-employment “at the click of a mouse” allowing employers to escape having to pay workers their entitlements.

That is according to a report that will be published today at the annual conference of the think-tank Tasc in Croke Park, Dublin.

The report examines the quality and quantity of jobs here and focuses on the hospitality, construction, financial services and ICT sectors.
