Ryanair, Brookfield and Tax

[south coast]

I know there is loads written about this and I dont work for Ryanair in any way, directly or via Brookfield.

I do however have a friend who works for Ryanair as a contractor with Brookfield and he tells me he is now going to have to start paying tax with PAYE.

Without getting into a mud slinging competition about FR, can someone please explain how or why a contractor should be forced to pay PAYE and if they are, does that mean they are then a full-time employee with Brookfield and are therefore entitled to benefits afforded to full time employees, ie. leave, paid sick time, social security employer contributions, a contract etc etc, basically, the things we all take for granted when in full time employment.


Thanks, changed Parc to Brookfield, apologies.
