LesFlamands Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Friends of ours living in the UK would like to take a short break of 1 or 2 months from their jobs. She will be on maternity leave which is where the idea sprouted from. He is a carpenter and I would be happy to employ him, and he would enjoy the experience of working on French properties. He is employed by a medium sized company in England and whilst a key employee, I think they would agree to a short break. Does anyone know of any scheme whereby I could just carry on paying his UK wages, Paye and NI that, for example, we could set up with his existing employer. This sort of thing certainly goes on with teachers, university lecturers and British Aerospace engineers, so I can't see it would be too much of a problem with a carpenter.

For health there is the E form for major accidents/ugences but I'm not sure how it works for minor illnesses - can these be claimed back in the Uk? regs Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
