Controversial and precarious work when a person is made self-employed only to work for the company as if it employed them.
Presenting its annual report for 2014, the Labour Inspectorate has pointed to different forms of precarious work that are becoming increasingly wide-spread. One of the most controversial cases of bending the law is when companies demand that a person becomes self-employed only to work for the company as if it employed them. The inspectorate also pointed to student work, another precarious form of employment widely used to compensate for lack of staff in regular employment.
