ESM4000 - Particular occupations: table of contents


This part of the Employment Status Manual contains guidance on particular occupations. The NICs legislation in Northern Ireland is similar to that which applies in the rest of the UK and, for ease of reference, only the latter legislation is used in headings in this section. In headings, Social Security (Categorisation of Earners) Regulations 1978 has been shortened to SS (Categorisation of Earners) Regulations 1978.
