Overview

The world of work has changed significantly over the past 20 years or so, with more and more individuals engaged in the 'gig economy', where someone may do several different types of work to earn a living. The use of digital platforms to engage services has become commonplace, which in turn has affected the way that people are engaged to deliver those services. Consumers may not worry about the individual who delivers their pizza or drives them to the airport, but it's a different story for the business engaging the individual to deliver the service, and for the individual themselves. Understanding the status of an individual you are engaging is crucial, as different legal rights and obligations flow from the arrangement, depending on the nature of the particular relationship. This book examines the different sorts of relationships that arise in the world of work, how they differ, and how to determine whether someone is an employee, a worker or an independent contractor. It also considers other types of relationship, such as directors and other officers, employee shareholders, agency workers and volunteers.
