Self-employed hairdresser, wins right to claim holiday, redundancy & notice pay

[TheDogsNads]

Landmark as in the end of a way of working that many self employed hairdressers and the like have to do.

FTFY.

Consider this within the context of clients that are declaring roles to be inside IR35. They are then going to have to potentially argue in an employment tribunal that the inside IR35 contractor is not in fact an employee.

You can go to employment tribunal, but you can only make case against your own company. At least this is what Jesse Norman been saying.

A SELF-employed hairdresser has won the right to claim for notice, holiday and redundancy pay in what her lawyers claim is a landmark case for thousands of beauty industry workers. Meghan Gorman, 26, won an Employment Tribunal judgement after arguing that, although she had a contract as a self-employed hairdresser, the amount of control over her working practices effectively made her an employee.

Her lawyers claim the judgement in her favour, following an Employment Tribunal hearing in Manchester, furthers recent legal decisions on "worker" status in the case of Pimlico Plumbers at the Supreme Court and Uber drivers, currently on appeal from the Court of Appeal.

Judith Fiddler, of Direct Law & Personnel, said the preliminary judgement could affect thousands of hairdressers nationwide and other people such as dentists, hygienists, delivery drivers and bookkeepers.

"Our case was that Meghan was treated as an employee and was not genuinely self-employed, and therefore should benefit from employment law rights.

"At all times she was treated as an employee and her bosses exercised tight control over all aspects of her work."

Employment Tribunal Judge Marion Batten ruled in Ms Gorman's favour in March, with the reasons for the ruling released this week.

Terence Paul claimed the company's self-employed hairdressers had control over the hours and days they worked, their starting and finishing times, treatments they could give and their holidays.

Ms Gorman disputed this, saying she had to work from 9am-6pm from Monday to Saturday, had no control over pricing or offering discounts, had to use the company's products, conform to Terence Paul's standards of dress, and had to tell the salon if she wanted time off.

Ms Gorman said: "They clearly had the power and control. I did not believe it could be considered I was in business on my own account.
