Facts

This was a preliminary hearing to determine the Claimant's employment status. Mr Crosskey worked for Mr S Ash trading as AS Spotworks between 1 June 2020 and 28 April 2023, a period of approximately 35 months. The central issue was whether the Claimant was an employee or had a different working relationship with the Respondent.

Decision

The tribunal determined that at all material times between 1 June 2020 and 28 April 2023, the Claimant was an employee of the Respondent within the meaning of section 230 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. This finding would enable the Claimant to pursue employment-related claims that depend on employee status.

Practical note

The tribunal definitively established employee status under ERA 1996 s.230, clearing the way for substantive employment rights claims to proceed.
