Freelance – the (simple) answer to a complex world of work?

In the increasingly complex world of work, freelancers offer businesses the degree of flexibility that they need. Short-term vacancies, one-off projects and parental leave often require a temporary increase in the workforce,  but in these cases permanent contracts are not generally an option. Employing freelancers does, of course, also raise a number of issues, for example compliance with regulations on "fictitious self-employment".
