ESM0555 - Guide to determining status: exclusive services

The obligation to provide services exclusively for one master is a pointer towards employment. However, exclusive services clauses are not only found in contracts of employment. They may also appear in contracts for services. A self-employed individual running an agency for an insurance company may be precluded from selling any other company바카라 사이트™s policies. Similarly an author may agree to write for only one publisher.

The absence of an obligation to provide exclusive services is not necessarily a pointer towards self-employment. A full-time worker could only exercise his/her right to work for others by working outside the normal working week and this may effectively preclude him/her from taking other jobs making an exclusive services requirement unnecessary.

In many cases an employer will have no objection if an employee works elsewhere during his own time. Part-time employees are not normally restricted to working for one employer; they can usually take other jobs.
