Watford Employment Tribunal

Parties to the main proceedings


Applicant: B

Defendant: Yodel Delivery Network Ltd

Operative part of the order

Directive 2003/88/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 November 2003 concerning certain aspects of the organisation of working time must be interpreted as precluding a person engaged by his putative employer under a services agreement which stipulates that he is a self-employed independent contractor from being classified as a ‘worker’ for the purposes of that directive, where that person is afforded discretion:






—


to use subcontractors or substitutes to perform the service which he has undertaken to provide;










—


to accept or not accept the various tasks offered by his putative employer, or unilaterally set the maximum number of those tasks;










—


to provide his services to any third party, including direct competitors of the putative employer, and










—


to fix his own hours of ‘work’ within certain parameters and to tailor his time to suit his personal convenience rather than solely the interests of the putative employer,
provided that, first, the independence of that person does not appear to be fictitious and, second, it is not possible to establish the existence of a relationship of subordination between that person and his putative employer. However, it is for the referring court, taking account of all the relevant factors relating to that person and to the economic activity he carries on, to classify that person’s professional status under Directive 2003/88.
