The Department does not rely on test cases to determine the employment status of all workers in a sector.

Employment status decisions are made on a case by case basis, following investigation into the actual circumstances of the person's engagement, and by applying the tests or criteria as set out in the Code of Practice on Determining Employment Status.

I trust this clarifies matters for the Deputy.
