Definition of ‘Employee’
The legal definition of an employee varies depending on the specific legislation being referenced. Most employment laws define an employee as someone working under a ‘Contract of Employment.’
Employed or Self-Employed?
When there is uncertainty about whether an individual is an employee or self-employed, various factors are examined to assess the true nature of the relationship and the intentions of both parties.
Revenue Definition
According to Revenue, an employment contract signifies an employer-employee relationship, whereas a contract for service applies to self-employed individuals or independent contractors. Revenue provides a set of criteria to help determine whether someone qualifies as a self-employed contractor.
