Self-employed v employed committee member

[shoeshopper]

Could you please clarify the following. We are a sports club run by a management committee of volunteers from the membership. One of the committee members is paid a small amount (honorarium) in recognition of the amount of work he needs to do. He can do the work when he wants, which varies in amount, but he always gets paid the same amount regardless.

 

He has a regular full time job which has nothing to do with, and has no relevance to, the work he does on the committee.

 

Does this make him self employed or an employee of the club please?

 

Thank you very much for your advice.

Thanks for this info but the more I read it the more both categories apply; any other comments welcome please.

.

I don't understand the point of this question. Are you asking what his status is or what it should be? Are you a member of the club?

In my view he could be either self-employed or employed, both situations are acceptable, it only depends who is paying for tax and NI, the club or the member.

Thank you - I think it's clear enough now.
