Management of the Scheme - Purchase of weekly compensation by self-employed persons

212: Earner levies for self-employed persons who purchase weekly compensation

You could also call this:

"Self-employed people who buy extra protection still need to pay the regular earner levy"

If you're self-employed and you choose to buy weekly compensation, you still need to pay the earner levy. The earner levy is a payment that all earners have to make. Even though you've bought extra protection, you can't stop paying this regular levy. It's important to know that choosing to buy weekly compensation doesn't replace your normal responsibilities as a self-employed person.
