Homeworkers
[ch 4: page 100]Homeworkers are entitled to the NMW. Unusually, under section 35, NMWA 98, homeworkers do not need to be providing a service “personally” in order to qualify for the NMW.
A homeworker does not have to be working at home to qualify for the NMW. Instead, they can be working “from home”, for example, using their own vehicle to provide courier services (James v Redcats [2007] ICR 1006).
