For this unit i will be describing the main types of employment status within the creative media sector:
1.1: There are three main types of employment statuses, Workers, employees or self employed. I think all three types of these apply to the creative media sector as some designers are self employed. I am currently working within a large group and we are classed as employees. Workers will be people who work individually but working for some one else
1.2: If you are a full time or part time employee you are required to pay income tax, which will depend on how much you earn a year. If you earn more then £7,745 a year you will have to pay income tax. if you are self empaled the big difference is that you have to pay your own tax and national insurance. If you are an apprentice you will not need to pay tax as you are not earning over £7,745 a year.
1.3: Workers must not work more then 48 hours on an average per week. They must only have a minimum period of paid holiday and are only aloud the minimum amount of rest breaks. Employees are able to request flexible working hours. They are aloud time off for emergencies. This means that they can either work agreed hours over a period of days or choose when to work. Being self employed means that you are you own boss. This means that the hours you work can be very flexable since you can pick the hours that you want to work.
2.1: A prospective employer is an employer who you might work for in the future or have a change of working for. Basically its an employer that you would like to work for but are not yet working. In the creative media market place there are a lot of potential prospect employers in the north east. For examples the types of jobs i would search for in the north east would be digital media jobs.
2.2: If i was going to choose an employer in terms of my own personal interests i would first search the internet with specific job searches in the north east. When doing this i would include key words such as Newcastle, digital media and different job names.
3.3: If i was going to describe and pitch an idea to an employer or commissioner i would either present them with a presentation or just try and explain my idea face to face or over the phone.
