The decision maker should note the following where there is
doubt about employment status
1) before treating a person as self-employed further
information may be needed, for example from the NICO
2) the question of employment category is for the decision
maker to decide
3) a different decision maker may have issued a direction on
contribution liability for the person or a group of people such as
certain ministers of religion
4) the decision maker should take into account directions
issued by a different decision maker, but the decision maker is not
bound to come to the same conclusion.
