It is estimated that at least a quarter of the workforce in the UK is accounted for by external contractors, ie the self-employed, independent contractors and atypical external contractors. Although the majority of firms will have some sort of non-standard workforce, there is no formal guidance on the legal and practical issues arising from the employment of non-standard workers, for either the corporates themselves or their legal advisers.

This new title guides employment lawyers advising such firms or in-house professionals on this complex area of law and provides comprehensive coverage of all issues arising, including how to establish status of the workforce, responsibilities of the employer, tax status and classification and contracts.
