Choosing your contract type at Gophr

You are able to choose between two types of working status on the Gophr platform.

You are free to choose either working status, and you are able to change it in the future. Please note there are separate terms and conditions for each status and you should familiarise yourself with these before making a choice.

Choose between 2 contract types:

Option 1: Independent Contractor

💰 Payment

You will receive a single payment for each job you complete without the deductions or additions set out in the other option. This single payment will be higher (usually by around 20%) than the single payment you will receive if you choose option 2, but you will not receive holiday pay, pension and National Minimum Wage whilst working.

✅ Sub-contracting available

You will have the ability to sub-contract work to your own sub-contractors in line with the Gophr Terms and Conditions.

🔵 Status

You will be self-employed for tax purposes and you will be responsible for the payment of any income tax and National Insurance contributions to HMRC.

Option 2: Worker

💰 Payment

  • You will receive a single payment (which will usually be around 20% less than if you choose option 1), plus holiday pay at 12.07%.
  • If you are eligible and have not opted out:
    • Gophr will contribute 3% of Qualifying Earnings to a pension; and
    • A 5% deduction will be made for your pension contributions.
  • You will earn at least National Minimum Wage whilst working.

❌ Sub-contracting not available
