Minimum wage law and unpaid interns.
Discussion
I have someone who wants to work with me as an unpaid intern to gain some experience in the field - which I am more than happy to do.
(He asked me, I didn't advertise)
So, in law will he be an "Employee"? If so, how do I account for him being paid (a lot less than) minimum wage?
For reference he's 24yo.
I mean in practice its going to be easiest if I just say nothing at all to HMRC etc, but if he's working with me i'll want him to be covered by my employer's liability insurance.
