Holiday dilemmas - 2000 - Building 265(8164) 1 December 2000, 59(1) .

Discusses the case where Paul Costello, a self-employed carpenter working as a joiner for a subsidiary of George Wimpey, Midland and General Developments, claimed £1430 for holiday pay after working 32 weeks, under the Working Time Regulations. His claim was dismissed at the employment tribunal but his case is used by the article to highlight the problem regarding the definition of worker. The article looks at Paul Costello's case and the nature of his relationship with Midland and General Developments and examines how, if his circumstances had been slightly different, he might have won his claim.
