This Employment Tribunal case illustrates why it is important for businesses to set out terms in writing in advance of someone starting work

In this episode 213 of the podcast I bring you a summary of a case that was decided by the Watford Employment Tribunal in regards to the issue of the status of the aggrieved. The case is Guler v Newman Law LLP.

In this episode of the podcast we cover:

Why businesses need to ensure that agreed terms are set out in writing at the outset.
How the Employment Tribunal made a determination of Mr Guler’s status.
Why the Employment Tribunal decided that Mr Guler was a worker.
The issues that can arise about status and remuneration if you do not set out the terms in writing.
