Hi I am looking at employing a new therapist, she has a qualification in Massage which she studied in a local training centre which is accredited, I am told they are equivalent to level 3, although she is qualified she will have no salon experience, I am thinking therefore she will come to me as a trainee but I am confused over what salary to pay, NMW? she has said she is expecting trainee pay to start off with, as she is qualified she is not an apprentice so not on that salary, I have looked at adverts for other salons and spas and they on average seem to pay NMW but ask for at least 1year experience so I am confused over what to pay. I am going to pay for her to go on training courses to compliment what we offer at the salon and she has already enrolled on advanced training courses herself which she wants to add to her qualifications.
I have looked into pensions and her part time hours does not warrant this, her hours also mean she will not be paying tax and insurance, I am gong to register with HMRC as an employer but as there will be no deductions do I just provide her with a payslip showing no deductions, I have not employed before so any help would be appreciated please.
