Hopefully an easy question. Work in building trade...took some power tools to work as Site agent wanted to do some snagging. Happy to help out..until I find power tools have been stolen (only about 6 people work on the site),company who is Building the site said its not there problem as they were not used as part of my job and tough titty. Its my understanding as they were locked in a container with site agent having the key,the firm doing the building has a responsibility for the safe keeping..?

Ive worked for various Umbrella companies and yes they do indeed get you to pay the employers NI. Something I believe its not legal..but "gotten around" by the terms and conditions of employment.
