Gig Economy
If your business relies on flexible or freelance talent, you’re part of the gig economy. It’s fast-moving and full of opportunity, but it’s also tightly regulated. As the laws on status, tax, working time, holiday, discrimination, health and safety, and data privacy are complex. From status audits to IR35 to training your HR team, we help employers get it right.
Gig worker agreements
We draft, review and negotiate clear, compliant agreements that reduce misclassification risks while keeping the flexibility you need.
Employment status audits
Assess each engagement to help you correctly classify employees, workers, or self-employed contractors.
IR35 and off-payroll working
Clear advice on status determinations, preparation of SDS documents, and creation of compliant contracts for private sector engagements.
Tribunal representation
If a status dispute ends up in a tribunal, we’ll be by your side from early advice through to final hearings. We are experienced in support of status disputes, unpaid holiday claims and discrimination, from pre‑action strategy to final hearings.
HR training
Practical training is available on compliant engagements, IR35, right‑to‑work checks, and avoiding inadvertent employment relationships.
Questions we’re often asked
Project-based work via platforms or direct engagements, rather than traditional permanent employment.
Assess control, substitution, mutuality of obligation, integration, and economic risk against case law.
Liability for tax, NICs, holiday pay, pension, tribunal claims and penalties.
When an individual provides personal service and, absent the intermediary, would be an employee.
It depends on their status. Workers do, but self-employed contractors don’t. Accurate status assessment is essential.
You’ll need tailored contracts, SDS records, right-to-work checks, and a compliant onboarding process.
