- Received —Decided —Department of Social Protection
Text of FOI Request – All records in the Department relating to the actions taken by the Minister and the Department to implement two specific recommendations of the Third Report of Minister Joan Burton's Advisory Group on Tax and Social Welfare on the issue of Extending Social Insurance Coverage for the Self Employed which was published by Minister Burton on the 6th September 2013. The two recommendations I am referring to are recommendation 6 and 8. • Recommendation 8: The increased casualisation of certain types of employment has resulted in the tendency to wrongly classify some employees as self-employed, which has resulted in new social risks. To mitigate these risks, the Department and the Revenue Commissioners should ensure greater compliance with the Code of Practice for Determining Employment or Self-Employment Status of individuals. To this end, there should be regular reporting on the levels of reclassification. • Recommendation 6: The eligibility criteria for non-income support-based activation and training schemes should be modified to enable self-employed people gain access to such schemes, if they do not qualify for jobseekers payments.
