Finance: Employment and Pensions

Many PCCs employ staff and it is important that the correct procedures and policies are in place and that the relevant laws are complied with. There is a lot of helpful information on the Human Resources pages. Additionally, the HR team are able to give individual advice by phone on the HR helpline (020 7932 1200) or via e-mail.

It is also important to be clear about whether someone is an employee or is self-employed. There are strict legal definitions of the different employment statuses and it is not simply up to the individual or the PCC to decide. Guidance on how to ascertain employment status can be found here.
