They can be self-employed but it has to be genuine and meet the criteria laid down by HMRC. Check their website and you will see that it is not easy nowadays as they are tightening up on the rules.

If they can be self-employed you can make any agreement with them that you wish.

If they have to be employed, which is most likely, then you can agree a payment by results package if you and they wish.

It depends on the laws of the place you are working.in some countries, this is allowed while in other it may deemed illegal. I reside in India and it legit to work according to how you are suggesting.

Do a google search for IR35 which will explain the rules for determining whether you are self employed or not
