It would be a shame to lose out on employment because a school will not pay an instructor who is not on their books.
I'm not quite sure what the problem is here. Why can't you simply fit in with your school's requirements? If they want you on the books, then go on the books and get paid each month. If they don't, then either be self-employed or set up a company, and get paid that way instead.
My school offered me the choice when I first started working there. I chose to go on the books because it's the easier option - I'm sure there would have been a chance to save some tax somewhere if I'd set up a company to pay myself through, but on the amount of money I earn I pay so little tax it doesn't seem worth the effort. Of course, if I'd happened to end up working for a school who prefers paying instructors this way, I'd have jumped through the necessary hoops.
