Hi,
Workers who are genuinely self-employed are not entitled to the minimum wage.
For minimum wage purposes there are a number of factors to consider when determining whether a person is genuinely self-employer.
A person who has been assessed as “self-employed” for tax purposes may not necessarily be self-employed for the purposes of national minimum wage.
For more information please refer to:
Calculating the minimum wage and
Eligibility for the minimum wage
Thank you.
