Homeworkers
[ch 4: page 98]Homeworkers are entitled to the NMW. Unusually, under section 35, NMWA 98, homeworkers do not need to provide a service “personally” in order to qualify for the NMW. See also Chapter 2, page 48. A homeworker need not work “at home” to qualify for the NMW. Instead, they can work “from home”, for example, using their own vehicle to provide courier services (James v Redcats [2007] ICR 1006).
