This webinar we look at:

how do you decide whether someone is an employee, worker or independent contractor? And why does it matter?

what are they key legal and practical considerations applying to fixed-term employees, zero hours staff, part-time workers and agency workers?

what is the impact on terms and conditions of employment, holidays, continuity and termination?

Future changes contained in the Employment Rights Act, especially around the obligation to offer guaranteed hours to zero hours workers and those on low hours contracts.
