Hi
I wonder if anyone is able to advise.
I have worked on a sub contract basis for a company for the last 17 years. Approximately 40% of my total work was for this company. They passed me work when they needed to typically amounting to 25 calls per month. There is no written contract between us although I have payment rates in writing. The company concerned is a large multi national concern.
This company has recently decided to take all the work in house and I have not received any work from them for several months, they tell me that this is due to budget constraints and that I may receive work in the future but I know that the decision is final and that I will not receive any more work from them. I know of several other sub contractors who are in the same situation as me.
Can anyone advise if I have any rights? I have heard that I may be treated as an employee in this type of situation but would appreciate any guidance you can give.
My situation could be further complicated as for the last 10 years I have been a Ltd company, I am the only employee of that company.
Any help you can provide would be really appreciated.
