Yes
The CAD manager at my workplace sent an email earlier this week asking for job loads as she is going to have to outsource. I cheekily replied saying that i want a new car and to outsource it to me.

She didn't reply to start with but has today and she is thinking of taking me up on this offer and is asking me how much i would like to be paid etc.

I am off work next week and can get up at daft times to get the work done for the extra cash.

Now for my question:

Pay for freelance CAD is in the region of £15-25 per hour round here, what i can bring that others cant is a clear understanding of the task and produce the drawings at 100% accuracy with little need to check after, i done this job for a year before i'm in my current job and I've been in this one for 5 years producing drawings for CAD to draw.

Should i lap it up and put in an offer and take the extra money or is this a bad idea for my role in the company?
 
What makes you think it might be a bad idea, as it's not clear to me? - is it a backward step, or is it likely to upset other people in the business??
 
if its all legal and above board and its just like working overtime then where is the problem? specially as it is not going to hinder your regular job
 
Are you going to do it from home or just go to work on an overtime rate?

Where was she going to outsource to, India, Eastern Europe or another local company. You will need to be competitive in relation to that.
 
isn't there a legal issue with doing work that you'd usually do as an employee as a freelancer while still employed.

certainly my employer won't allow such (or indeed for 6 months after someone leaves)
 
yeah if its added to your pay that's fine - its when they employ you as contractor as well as an employee that it can go tits up - though IIRC the consequences are mostly for the company not the employee

its mostly to do with the company being thought to be evading their duties with regard to employers NI, pension etc by treating someone as a contractor who ought to be treated as staff

What was the outcome of your last work related problem Michael? Was it your employer advertising a vacancy through the agency? Is this related to that vacancy not being filled? Who do you work for? Have I any more questions?

The outcome was me talking to my manager and decoding to move on when my contract is expired.

This isn't related in any way, it's just the fact that its not basic overtime pay, it's outsource pay.
