question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, pursuant to the Answer of 9 February 2015 to Question 223458, what the current (a) employment protections and (b) collective bargaining rights are for contractors working in the offshore oil and gas sector.
tabling member constituency	Stockton North
tabling member printed	Alex Cunningham
uin	224044
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/02/2015 answer text <p>A contractor’s employment protections will depend on the facts of the working relationship and the contract under which they are working. This is irrespective of whether the individual is being contracted for offshore work or not. Contractors who are actually workers or employees would be entitled to the same basic employment protections as other offshore workers with a similar status, and indeed would have common collective rights. Contractors who are self-employed may be entitled to a smaller number of employment protections, depending on the terms of their contract. There is no single list of the protections and rights of offshore workers and contractors because these will be specific to the contract, the location of the work place and the employment status of the contractor. The Government is exploring how to add clarity to this as part of the employment status review.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency East Dunbartonshire answering member printed Jo Swinson question first answered 17/02/2015 16:15:00 answering member 1513 label Biography information for Jo Swinson
