It is argued that one
of the greatest things lacking in most
of our churches is a sense
of community, that we all belong, and are headed somewhere together — and
actually enjoying each
other's
company as we do it!
This decision
of the Court
of Appeal confirms that employers should beware when drafting contracts as on numerous occasions, the ET has looked behind the contract to ascertain exactly what the person carrying out the work is
actually doing and if in reality the requirement is for personal service, if the
company exerts control over the person, if the person receives pay slips even though they submit invoices and have signed an agreement which imposes restrictive covenants, then even ifthe person carrying out the work has agreed to label
of «self - employed», submits VAT returns, is taxed as self - employed and claims tax advantages it is likely that the ET will find that the person is a worker and will be entitled to holiday pay and various
other advantages not
enjoyed by the self employed.
