Chapter 2
Homeworkers
[ch 2: pages 42-43]There is nothing in principle to prevent a homeworker from being an employee. Their employment status will be decided following the usual rules outlined on pages 32-35. However, it may be difficult to demonstrate the necessary right of control to establish employment status. For example:
A group of female homeworkers brought claims for unfair dismissal and redundancy against Industrial Rubber, for whom they had worked at home trimming excess rubber from moulded products. The EAT decided that Industrial Rubber lacked the supervisory control needed to establish a relationship of employer and employee.
