can a employer make a employee pay employer ni as well as employee ni

The employers are being checked by HMRC. They are obviously taking people on as self employed when they should be employed. They are covering themselves because they should be paying employers NI.
It's all a scam by many employers trying it on at the cot of the people working for them.

If you're being paid by an Umbrella company then it's your responsibility to pay the employer's NI contributions. Sucks, I know.

You should also be aware of the expenses you can claim to minimise your tax liability.
