Employment status following the Uber Supreme Court case
Establishing an individual’s employment rights can feel like a minefield, with varying degrees of obligations on the employer depending on the employment status.
Earlier this year the Supreme Court upheld earlier decisions in the Employment Tribunal, Employment Appeal Tribunal and Court of Appeal that Uber drivers are “workers” of Uber for the purposes of employment rights, and not, as Uber argued, self-employed contractors each operating their own minicab business.
