How do employees of small companies get paid in the UK? -

I am setting up a new start up business which will require a couple food servers. Do I pay them cash directly or do I wire it to their bank account? Also how often should they be paid, daily,weekly or montly?

If they are employed by you ie you pay there tax and national insurance then you should pay them 1 week in arears into ther bank account. If they are self employed / casual you can pay them daily or weekly its up to you but i wouldnt pay them monthly if they are casual you may find that they prefer cash on a weekly / daily basis
