Frank Augstein/AP/Shutterstock The highest court in the UK has ruled that Uber drivers can’t be considered self-employed, a result that could have wide-ranging effects on the larger gig economy. Here’s what you need to know. What was the court ruling on? Advertisement Uber lets people book taxis and delivery services through its app, then lists these jobs for drivers to accept. The company has always considered its UK drivers to be self-employed and paid them for each ride or delivery they carry out, rather than paying a fixed wage. The UK’s Supreme Court has now ruled against this, saying that Uber drivers must be considered “workers”. This means unlike self-employed people, they should receive a minimum wage and holiday pay. A “worker” is slightly different to an “employee” under UK law, however: workers don’t always have the right to sick pay and maternity or paternity leave.
