These are, for example, the right to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>a statement of written terms regarding their rights and responsibilities;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>the <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/employment\/national-minimum-wage\/\">National Minimum Wage<\/a>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>holiday pay;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>payslips;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>not to be mistreated based on working part-time; and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>protection against <a href=\"https:\/\/legalvision.co.uk\/employment\/employment-discrimination\/\">unlawful discrimination<\/a> and whistleblowing.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Although worker status does not entitle an individual to leave, such as sickness, maternity and other forms of paternal leave, they may be entitled to the pay associated with these. If workers want to take time off from the workplace, they can do this because they do not have to readily make themselves available for work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A worker has protection from experiencing a detriment. This means that you cannot, for example, put them at a detriment if they exercise certain rights, such as making a protected disclosure (whistleblowing) or exercising rights regarding the National Minimum Wage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<a href=\"#content-next\"\n   class=\"block p-4 mt-10 text-xl font-bold text-center text-white no-underline bg-gray-800 rounded-t-xl\">\n    Continue reading this article

However, they do have the legal right to be protected against discrimination, as well as to be protected in terms of their health and safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Differences Between Employees, Workers and Self-Employed Persons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While there are similarities between employees, workers, and self-employed people, there are also some key differences. The table below outlines some of the primary differences.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Employees<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Workers<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Self-Employed<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Employees carry out work for you under an employment contract.<\/td><td>Workers can carry out work for you under a casual worker contract. They can also carry out the work under different types of contracts.<\/td><td>The self-employed carry out work for you under a contract that is not an employment contract. Usually, they would be engaged under a contract for services.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Employees are entitled to both leave and pay associated with family rights.<\/td><td>Workers are potentially entitled to pay associated with family rights.<\/td><td>The self-employed are not entitled to leave or pay associated with family rights.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Employees also have protection during these circumstances against dismissal.<\/td><td>The circumstance in which employees and workers are protected against detrimental treatment is similar.<\/td><td>The self-employed have fewer employment rights than employees and workers.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Employees have to personally carry out the work given to them.<\/td><td>Workers have to personally carry out the work given to them.<\/td><td>A self-employed person can delegate the work you give to someone else.<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Employees enjoy further rights.<\/td><td>Workers have very similar rights and responsibilities to employees.<\/td><td>Self-employed people have fewer employment rights than employees and workers.
