  • Self employed or worker?

    Hello all.*
    I have worked for a hotel company for the last 6 years, side by side with the gm, doing the same job, however invoicing as self employed. (Nobody in the company has a formal contract, nor is there a hr department.)

    A couple of weeks ago I met with the boss & was given an ultimatum, 'do this (insert unfair term,) or don't be here any more.'

    Firstly, should I bring a claim, am I employed or send employed? To remind, I invoiced directly & was not on paye.
    Secondly, do I have a case? In my.mind, I should be eligible for the same rights as a direct employee,including 6 years holiday pay, 6 weeks worth of notice period & 6 years worth of pension contributions.
    Any info appreciated

    Firstly if you are truly self-employed then you do not have any employment rights so would not be able to make a claim.

    However without further information then it is difficult to determine whether you are in fact self-employed or should have been considered an employee on a contract of employment for which you would get employment rights.

    This is a useful that link that may help you determine what your employment status should be.
