Abstract

The personal scope of the UK labour law varies depending on which law it is concerned with. some employment rights apply to employees. Other employment rights apply to workers. Anti-discrimination law in employment has a similar personal scope as the law which applies to workers. Health and safety at work law has much broader coverage than any other law. This article discusses whether each of the UK labour law protects dependent self-employed workers and, if so, the extent to which it does. It examines five conceptions defining those who are entitled to employment-related rights, such as employee, workers, employed earner. Exploring statutory provisions and their interpretation on the personal scope of individual labour law, this article will seek to find some implications to how the personal scope of the Korean labour should be widened in order to protect self-employed worker. Hopefully distinctive features of the regulations on dependent self-employment will shed light on the reformation of the personal scope of the Korean labour law.
