I suppose the only problem for the company would be paying extra NI and pensions contributions for the new workers they take on.
There shouldn't be any extra to pay out in wages, probably less (as they would not be paying 1.5 or double time wages) - which of course should cover the extra NI and pensions contributions .....
Yes, Win, win.
