ESM1000 - Detailed guide to determining status: overview table of contents

This part of the manual contains detailed guidance and the technical background to status work. It is aimed mainly at Status Inspectors, Technical Support Managers and others within the Status and Construction Industry Team in an Employer Compliance Unit.

The guidance at ESM0501 to ESM0505 deals with the importance of fact finding and the need to have an understanding of the engager’s business, the nature of the worker’s job and the terms of the engagement. What will be considered here in more detail are the importance of contracts, the ‘in business on own account’ test and the relevant factors, or indicia, associated with that test.

The guidance included in this part is as shown in the following table of contents.
