Thanks for your question, James.

Worker status is that “middle ground” between self-employed and employee. The Uber drivers were found to be Workers because of their working relationship with Uber. I would definitely recommend a written contract although what’s written in the contract should reflect what happens in practice as otherwise, it’s not worth the paper it is written on!

Is there any difference between that a zero hour contract.
