If the economic realities show that the worker is economically dependent on the employer for work, then the worker is an employee. If the economic realities show that the worker is in business for themself, then the worker is an independent contractor.
Employment as a sole trader The proprietor is the business, so there isnt a way to differentiate and pay yourself through a PAYE system as a separate individual. That said, you can take on as many team members as you need, provided you go through the employer registration process.
Self-Employment Taxes Freelancers and independent contractors do this by paying the self-employment tax. The IRS set the self-employment tax rate at 15.3%, which is the sum of two parts: a 12.4% Social Security tax rate and a 2.9% Medicare tax rate.
If you (or the IRS) determine that the extra work being completed meets the Independent Contractor guidelines, you can pay them as both an employee and an independent contractor. If you elect to do this, be sure to keep accurate records.
A sole trader can employ staff, either as full-time employees or freelancers, without needing to establish a limited company. However, it is essential to register as an employer with HMRC before making any hires to ensure compliance with employment laws.

The general rule is that an individual is an independent contractor if the person for whom the services are performed has the right to control or direct only the result of the work and not what will be done and how it will be done. If you are an independent contractor, then you are self-employed.
