In the UK, the right of substitution for self-employed individuals is their contractual ability to send a suitably qualified replacement to perform their work. This is a key indicator used by HMRC to determine genuine self-employment status and distinguish them from employees. Rodeo gives workers the ability to appoint a substitute to perform their work whilst also giving you visibility of who has been appointed.
