I left my job at the end of April and now work freelance for the same company as well as others. I'm having some difficulty understanding whether under EU/UK law I fall into the worker category or not. My partner who is also freelance in TV insists that I am a worker under this legislation (one of the companies she worked for makes this point to all their freelancers) however the company I was employed by and now do freelance work for disputes this.
I've done some reading and I'm not smart enough to tell decisively and whether I should be adding the 10.77% holiday rate to invoices or not. The short of it is I work for them on an ad hoc basis, I can't nominate someone to come in to work in my place, I invoice based on an hourly rate.
Hopefully someone here more intelligent and well versed can help me.
