It's the snowflake society we live in now and schools like businesses are now petrified of being sued.
Terrible the way things are now and it's all happened in a pretty short space of time.
Complex to type up, but let’s compare ltd co versus a job, same income.
Take £55,000 as annual business income from clients. Pay yourself an £8,000 salary through paye. Deduct this from income. Multiply the £47,000 by 81% to leave the element post corp tax, which is available for dividends of £38,070. £2,500 of which will be tax free. Dividends of £35,570 will be taxed at 7.5% = £2,668. So the total taxes paid by the company and individual are £2,668 + £8,930 = £11,598.
An employee on £55,000 pays £15,324 in tax and ees nic.
The gap is actually larger than that as the company can be set up with the spouse also receiving dividends, with their own £2,500 tax free band and then 7.5% dividend tax rate up to the higher rate threshold. Plus use of home as an office and other costs/exenses going through the accounts, reducing the CT liability.

Like football and some events. The pitch is fine now days it's the approach and stadium surrounds that stop matches, not snowy pitches.

Nice rant. I was quite happy to give two of my staff paid leave on Tuesday, one who couldn't get in because of transport problems and one through lack of childcare as the school was closed. I know damn well that they will give back to me 10 fold over the course of the year in little goodwill gestures that soon mount up .... 30 minutes unpaid overtime here and there or flexibility around start and finish times when workload becomes unpredictable. Two of their colleagues actually phoned up and offered to come in to cover them. Show a little empathy and kindness and it doesn't go unrecognised by your staff.

I’m stranded in Oakford, Devon and as soon as they have the Red warning on Thursday I left work
No wages earnt for two days off but better than being stuck on a road for 24 hours
We are still snowed in now and more snow forecast today
That’s me knackered for getting to Brighton for the game tomorrow
I got back from Scotland last night having flown into the eye of the storm on Wednesday morning. Two of my colleagues were supposed to come home the day I flew up but we all ended up trapped together.
We’ve left a trail of unused hotel bookings, flights and emergency food but managed to get home by continuously reassessing options and possibilities.
It could be considered that we were crazy to start our journey yesterday as soon as the amber warning dropped to yellow, but we’d researched all options and knew that there was a window of opportunity. We also had contingency plans if anything changed along the way.
Glad to be back!

The only disaster is that I must have dropped my old Skint beeny hat when switching between the cab and hire car
