[T]wo influential parliamentary committees [...] have prepared draft legislation intended to close the loopholes that allow “irresponsible companies to underpay workers”... The rise of other insecure forms of work, with about 900,000 on zero-hours contracts and 1.6 million on temporary or agency contracts, has raised fears that employment law is struggling to protect those working in the modern economy... The government said it would respond to Taylor’s report by the end of this year... The MPs’ draft bill aims to clarify the definitions of employment status and enshrine the presumption that those working for companies over a certain size are all classed as workers, with rights to the minimum wage and holiday pay. The new legislation would put the onus on the company to prove self-employed status, in a dispute, rather than on the worker to do so through the courts. [refers to Uber, Deliveroo]
