Personally, I make sure that any time I am hired through my employer to fly with someone, I log P1, whatever the circumstances. If I am at work, then I am acting as an instructor. If you don't want an instructor as Captain, then you don't have to fly with me - but don't be offended if my employer doesn't let you hire our aircraft. This is quite aside from the legal aspect, which I have repeated on these forums many times - it is important to me that I am Captain, because if I am not Captain I have no legal right to take over the controls from you if you screw up.
On the other hand, if a friend phones me and asks if I want to go flying on my day off, then he is probably going to be logging P1, and I am a passenger.
