- Businesses and workers will benefit from greater clarity over their employment status, thanks to new guidance published by the government on Tuesday 26 July.
- The new guidance brings together employment status case law into one place for businesses and individuals to access.
- This will support workers by improving their understanding of what rights they are entitled to at work, enabling them to have informed discussions with their employer and take steps to claim or enforce them where necessary.
- This clarity comes following the landmark Uber Supreme Court judgement which held that individuals in the gig economy can qualify as ‘workers’, meaning they are entitled to core employment protections.
