Law Matters

Employment status

The December issue of Labour Research covered employment status and reported on the Autoclenz v Belcher case, where the Employment Appeal tribunal (EAT) found that valeters could not be employees.

However, the EAT did find that they were workers in the wider sense — and, specifically, that the claimants were entitled to the National Minimum Wage and holiday pay.
