NI 2 jobs same employer/ NO NI 2 jobs different employer?!
Discussion
Fellow PHers,
I have some conflicting information and I wonder if anyone can help.
I am looking to do a second job for the same employer.
I know I'll be taxed but it is the national insurance one is confused about.
From what I can see is that if I take on a second job
for the same employer I have to pay NI.
BUT
If I take on a job with a different employer I won't aslong as it is under £420 or so a month.
Surely that can't be the case?
It seems to be a case of its too complicated if you have two different empoyers so HMRC don't require you to pay NI and on the other hand oh you are doing two jobs for the same person, well you may aswell pay the extra NI as they already have your details.

I work for a large NHS board in a full time professional role and would be working as a Domestic assistant after hours else where with different bosses etc. So a totally different job. So I'd be on different pay scales, a Domestic assistant is quite a bit lower than my 'proper' salary.
They will clump my pay into one pay slip but my point is that I believe as the rules stand if I worked part time at a totally different employer I would not have to make an NI contribution if I make under X amount in my second job?

I don't know if I am being clear here.
You can earn up to a certain amount of money with a second job still paying 20% income tax BUT no NI. It's abit like an allowance, you don't have to pay it back at the end of year. If your second job is under a certain amount you just pay tax, not NI by what I can see.
My question is that it seems strange that a second job with a different employer would pay more as you pay no NI up to X amount but if you do a second job with the same employer you have to pay NI.
I would be better off doing my second job elsewhere and not for the same employer.
Perhaps its just my specific situation. The second job is an entirely different role all together. The NHS board is huge, but the tax man still looks at it as a second job with same employer?
