What type of contract do I need for an internship?

Answered 15 Feb 2008 by d.head

We are considering offering an intership to carry out a short-term (6-8 weeks) piece of research. We'd like to give the intern a daily payment for each day that they're with us.

Could you please advise on whether:

- we need to provide a written contract
- the payment would be subject to income tax and NI deductions
- whether the intern would be eligible for statutory sick pay if unable to attend through illness
- whether the intern would be eligible for paid holiday.

Thanks
