Description
Non-standard work forms, atypical work arrangement, cloud working, homeworking, co-working space arrangements, staff leasing, on call workers, marginal workers, zero-working-hours – these are terms slowly encroaching into the employment sphere, even among large and multinational corporations. On the one hand, it has created the opportunity for otherwise unemployable persons to be employed. On the other, it raises many concerns – multiple employers, avoidance of compliance, lack of protection for the workers and uncertainty - especially because most employee rights and protection have been designed and built around standard employment terms. It is not unusual for both parties to be unclear on the exact nature of the relationship or status of the individual providing the services. Can we get it right?
