-No, I can't control the amount of jobs I do so profit/loss is dependent on the amount of work sent by the base.

they can decide what work they do and when, where or how to do it
-No, I have to do jobs sent by the base (unless there is a valid reason for refusal).

they can hire someone else to do the work
-No.

they’re responsible for fixing any unsatisfactory work in their own time
-N/A.

their employer agrees a fixed price for their work - it doesn’t depend on how long the job takes to finish
-No, it's metered. The longer the job the higher the price.



they use their own money to buy business assets, cover running costs, and provide tools and equipment for their work
-Yes, but I also cover the base's running costs via rent.

they can work for more than one client
-No, company rule - you work for us and no-one else, no private work either.

Only one yes so I guess I'm an employee

You all are if you you do the above.
