It's pretty simple to give someone £10 an hour for doing a couple of hours a week...I pay a mechanic, a plumber, an electrician to do jobs for me.. and I don't have to be concerned about NI, business overheads, upkeep of premises, utility bills, rates, employment law, paperwork, 5.6 weeks paid holidays, pension schemes, incentives.. yada... yada.. yada..
There is a world of difference and major cost implication between paying someone to push the dyson and clean your crystal chandelier a couple of times a week and employing someone on a full time basis.

As you may have read elsewhere, I pay via a third party so am somewhat insulated from the matters you raise. I can only agree that the differences between part-time and full-time employment are as you describe them.
