dc.description.abstract | The United Kingdom has noted a rapid increase in the number of self-employed persons in the last forty years. This has prompted a return to the debate on the regulation of this category of workers. What are the key characteristics of the self-employed? Are they covered by labour law and social security regulations? This chapter answers these questions by looking at the legal framework applicable to the self-employed in the UK. In section 2, the author characterizes the main tendencies regarding self-employed activity in the United Kingdom as presented in a report of the Office of National Statistics for 2020. In sections 3 and 4, she analyses the definition and the legal framework that guarantee protection applicable to the self-employed. The author places particular emphasis on the tri-partite character of the British legal system in individual employment law, which includes certain categories of self-employed in the British definition of worker. Finally, section 5 is devoted to the ever more popular phenomenon of “bogus self-employment” and the legal mechanisms designed to combat it. | en |
dc.description.abstract | Przez ostatnie czterdzieści lat Zjednoczone Królestwo odnotowało gwałtowny wzrost liczby samozatrudnionych. Spowodowało to powrót do debaty nad uregulowaniami dotyczącymi tej kategorii wykonawców pracy. Jakie są główne cechy charakterystyczne samozatrudnionych? Czy podlegają oni prawu pracy i przepisom o zabezpieczeniu społecznym? Niniejszy rozdział odpowiada na powyższe pytania, analizując ramy prawne mające zastosowanie do samozatrudnionych w Wielkiej Brytanii. Autorka w punkcie 2 charakteryzuje główne tendencje w zakresie samozatrudnienia w Zjednoczonym Królestwie, które zostały przedstawione w raporcie brytyjskiego Głównego Urzędu Statystycznego (Office of National Statistics – ONS) za 2020 rok. W punktach 3 i 4 analizuje definicję i ramy prawne gwarantujące ochronę, która ma zastosowanie do samozatrudnionych. Autorka szczególny nacisk kładzie na trójpodział brytyjskiego systemu prawnego w indywidualnym prawie pracy, które włącza pewne kategorie samozatrudnionych do definicji „pracownika” (worker) obowiązującej w Zjednoczonym Królestwie. Na koniec w punkcie 5 przedstawione zostało coraz powszechniejsze zjawisko „fikcyjnego samozatrudnienia” oraz mechanizmy prawne służące do jego zwalczania. | pl |
