TAX CON TARGETS SUPPLY TEACHERS
‘Urgent action’ needed to ensure fair pay and end tax and salary rip-off
TWO-THIRDS of supply teachers have been asked to sign contracts with umbrella companies that allow agencies to “exploit” staff and avoid tax, new figures revealed yesterday.
A poll of over 1,000 supply teachers by NASUWT found that 66 per cent were asked to surrender pay and employment rights by signing up to umbrella companies — some based offshore.
The scale of the swindle, which is robbing workers and taxpayers, was uncovered as the union calls for government action to stop the exploitation of supply teachers at its Cardiff conference today.
