Professor Doherty referred to freelance journalists and to holidays and set pay. However, the classification will matter more in future than it does today when the likes of auto-enrolment pensions come in and the employer will make a contribution. It goes back to the first part of our discussion where we asked what was the definition. It is more than a matter of existing entitlements. It will become a future contributions scheme from an auto-enrolment perspective.
