通过agency做freelancer算是self-employed吗?

如题
公司合同上写的不能在获得公司书面同意之前参与本职工作以外的其它工作。为保险起见,楼主就询问hr了,hr当时问了我给谁做、什么时候开始。因为我打算做freelancer,公司和时间都是不确定的,就这么跟hr说了,但大概说了一下工作内容,与main job不冲突也不重合,然后hr就没回信儿了。

楼里有朋友说freelancer=self-employed,t2不能自雇。如果我在agency注册、通过agency领任务做也是self-employed吗?之前咨询学校的visa support持有工签可不可以take a second job,他们从home office得到的回答是:
For example, a software engineer who developed app’s as a hobby could use this allowance if they released them and made money through them.

However if they set up a company to oversee the business they would have made themselves into a company director and this would not be acceptable as ‘Director’ comes under a different SOC code.

The rules which this relates to are:
Under Part 6A of these Rules, “supplementary employment” means other employment in a job which appears on the Shortage Occupation List in Appendix K, or in the same profession and at the same professional level as that which the migrant is being sponsored to do provided that:

(a) the migrant remains working for the Sponsor in the employment that the Certificate of Sponsorship Checking Service records that the migrant is being sponsored to do,
(b) the other employment does not exceed 20 hours per week and takes place outside of the hours when the migrant is contracted to work for the Sponsor in the employment the migrant is being sponsored to do.

“employment” unless the contrary intention appears, includes paid and unpaid employment, paid and unpaid work placements undertaken as part of a course or period of study, self employment and engaging in business or any professional activity.

话说如果公司允许的话,在一些agency注册做freelancer算不算自雇啊?我对home office的回答的理解是,只要self-employment不成立公司,就OK。

T2 visa holder cannot be self-employed. Freelancer=self employ.
I don’t think HR will object but your visa does not allow you to do this type of work.

That said, it’s difficult to police, so… At your own risk is what I will say!

在agency注册、从agency系统里选任务做也算self-employed吗… 我还以为freelancer算是一般的casual work…谢谢!

home office解释说a software engineer who developed app’s as a hobby could use this allowance if they released them and made money through them. However if they set up a company to oversee the business they would have made themselves into a company director and this would not be acceptable as ‘Director’ comes under a different SOC code.

我理解的是,如果我不成立公司,在agency做freelancer也是可以的,而且home office也说“supplementary employment”中“employment” unless the contrary intention appears, includes paid and unpaid employment, paid and unpaid work placements undertaken as part of a course or period of study, self employment and engaging in business or any professional activity.

难道我是又理解错了?
