Case Study :
Joe works as ground staff every Saturday without fail for roughly six hours and has done so for the past 20 years , the club is his life . In gratitude for his devotion to the Club they give him £ 30 every Saturday after the match .
This all seems perfectly fine , Joe is happy , the Club is happy with Joe ……. until Joe becomes seriously ill and cannot attend the matches any longer and the Club is stuck without a Grounds Man !
Joe asks for sick pay as he is out of pocket on a Saturday , the Club however say as he ’ s only voluntary so he wouldn ’ t receive Statutory Sick Pay ( SSP ) and dismisses both his claim and him .
Joe looks into his case ….
Joe has received a wage therefore – is an employee !
Joe entitled to - All Employee Rights !!
