Employee Status – Supreme Court Dismisses Employer’s Appeal in Pimlico Plumbers Case

In the latest string of recent cases considering employment status, the Supreme Court has decided that a plumber who brought a case against his former employer was in fact a “worker” and should therefore be entitled to holiday pay and other basic workers’ rights despite the fact that he had signed an agreement with the company describing himself as self-employed, and filing tax returns to this effect.
