Workshop Aims

Practical down-to-earth tuition

This course is aimed at employers who are directly involved in the construction industry and those who are undertaking construction projects costing £1million or more in a year.

The new Construction Industry scheme came into force in April 2007. This is an essential half-day workshop for those involved in the Construction Industry procedures and focuses on the issues of making the correct assessment of employment status and the forms that have to be completed by both the worker and “employer”.

Also covered are the practical day-to-day aspects of this new scheme including the entitlement to paid holiday leave of construction workers as per recent tribunal cases.

Step-by-step approach

Throughout the half day, the tutor follows a step-by-step approach to learning, providing careful explanations, with a mixture of example and practice.

Tutor will assist each delegate

The tutor will endeavour to assist each delegate throughout the day and answer questions as they arise. By the end of the day, delegates will have received a practical overview of the Construction Industry Scheme.

Who would benefit?

None or little experience

This workshop has been designed to meet the needs of those with little or no experience of current CIS provisions.

Payroll, finance staff and all involved in the CIS scheme

They may have experience using a computerised system but little manual experience, or they may simply provide absence cover.
