I've worked with people who are cycle instructors and it's looking like the evidence they would need to show they are self-employed(in employment law as well as tax law) and had agreements to deliver work they won't have alongside the evidence they need to show they worked for someone as an off payroll worker(not in employment law but in tax law) they also won't have. IMO it makes it very difficult to have successful interaction with any sort of benefits without that paper trail which will leave lots of people I know rather fucked.
If whatever the government put together needs any level of detail whatsoever beyond showing an amount of money exchanging hands many have nothing to show and will likely be put in a position with no payments while employment status is argued to determine if what they should get comes from/via the company that they worked for or direct from the government.
I'd suspect many other types of work have the same situation.
