I used to work on a full time basis for a firm for 3 years - from early 2010 to end 2012 and was termed a self employed contractor under a so called contract for services ( although i never actually received a written contract !). In reality i have now learnt that i was in fact not a truly self employed contractor, but should in fact have been designated as being "self employed for the purposes of tax and NI " ... Aka empoyment status as a "worker". Consequently, under the working time regs etc i should have been paid 5.6 weeks statutory holiday pay per year . Further, i did not earn the NMW and had to shell out £7k per year for direct work related expenses which have never been paid. All this happened prior to my contract (or implied contract ) being terminated in late 2012. It's too late to go to the employment tribunal, but can i pursue a claim in the county court ? Re expenses - the major proportion relates to unpaid car expenses ; i believe i am entitled to 45 pence for first 10000 miles travelled per year and 25 pence per mile thereafter. As expenses are not wages then i understand i could never have claimed compensation for such losses via the Emp't Tribunal in any event. Re unpaid statutory holiday pay ; this amounts to approx £2k per year and over 3 years that would equate to say £6k Any feedback would be appreciated.
