Hi,
I take staff training very seriously and prefer to train everyone including reception etc. For my employed staff its very simple as they simply get sent for training, which so far has been on weekdays only (we are a Mon-Fri business).
In the event of a weekend training, do I pay them separately or can I give then a weekday off in lieu? Their contract does state occasional weekends.
More importantly, I'm really confused with self employed staff. Bearing in mind that I bear all the training costs and there's usually a certificate for them:

More importantly, I'm really confused with self employed staff. Bearing in mind that I bear all the training costs and there's usually a certificate for them:
- Is it customary to pay them for the day?
- In the event of a half day only, is it ok to pay them for only a half day or is it still a full day rate?
- Is travel (within London so tube only) payable?
- Most places offer food but if not, do I have to pay for incidentals?
