(1)Running a Tutor Agency as an Employment Business or an Employment Agency – introduction and overview

The law and guidance around running a Tutor Agency can be confusing. In this session we give you the core information and practical day-to-day business advice about the different business models which comply with the law. We look at

The two business models, an Employment Business and an Employment Agency.

(2)Are you an Employment Agency or an Employment Business?

As a Tutor Agency you need to decide which business model will work best for you and how you want to work. In this session we help you decide the best type of business model for your Tutor Agency. The session includes:

(3) Practical Steps to comply with law

If you are running a Tutor Agency, there are prescribed things that you must do to comply with your legal obligations. This applies whether you choose to run an Employment Business or an Employment Agency. It’s not just about knowing and understanding the law. You have to put all the various legislation and guidance that applies to your business into practice. In this session we apply law and give you practical advice and documents (such as checklists and policies) which you can use as you implement and run your new business model.

In this session we look at

• What you need to do
• How you can achieve this in the most effective (time and money) way
• What you can do to prove that you are complying with your legal obligations

Following the end of this session you will be able to access the documents which will help you achieve this. You start with these two key documents.

• A New Tutor Checklist so nothing is missed in your choice of model
• Our Working Together Policy – a core policy to prove what you do and the process you have used to make your decisions

Please see the Legal Documents section following for the whole library of documents you will be able to access.

3     Legal Documents 

Designed specifically for the new challenge for Tutor Agencies – legal documents, written by expert lawyers. They include the essential documents which every Tutor Agency needs to help you comply with the law :-

• A New Tutor Checklist. Use this to make sure you’re covering your legal obligations as a Tutor Agency. This includes thinking about the off-payroll working or IR35 rules.
• Our Working Together Policy. This to explains how you comply with your legal obligations as an Employment Business or Employment Agency.
• A Project or KID (Key Information Document) documents. Use these documents to make sure that you provide every tutor with the correct information. We give you a full explanation about which document to use and how to use it.
• Privacy Policy – remember your existing policy will be unlikely to cover the changes you are making in your business and the enhanced record keeping required of you
• Employment contracts plus Employee Handbook. This includes employment contracts which you can use for full time, part time and zero hours.
• Freelance Tutor Contracts – the contract you need to use with a self-employed tutor or those tutors running their own limited company
• Business Terms and Conditions for both business models

Extra documents – For the following 12 months we will add and provide updates to the above plus additional legal documents as there are updates and changes.

Our documents include our ‘How To’ explainer videos. These videos take you step-by-step through an individual document. They help you :-

• understand what each document is about and why it is important for your business
• easily adapt and edit the documents so you can use them in your own business
• feel confident using the documents

You will be sure that the suite of documents meets the needs of your Tutor Agency.

HOW DOES MY BUSINESS BENEFIT?

You’ll be speaking someone who understands the law (a qualified lawyer) who has over 30 years of successfully running businesses. Whether you need initial help or are looking to grow your business this is a unique opportunity.

Secondly, this Tutor Agencies Training Hub saves you time, money, effort and stress.

We’ve worked with Tutor Agencies, Tutors and employment agencies over many years. This has given us invaluable feedback and input. We have provided employment law support to many employment agencies and employers and worked with businesses for over 30 years who have been affected by HMRC categorisation changes and investigations.

This Hub gives you what you need all together in one place. You don’t have to go searching for what you need or access support from a variety of sources or pay for each time you need advice.

As a Tutor Agency operating through these wide scale changes, you really can’t afford to be without the hub.
