Following the decision of the Employment Tribunal, the National Gallery paid a total of £158,000 (inclusive of VAT) in backdated holiday pay to those individuals who were found by the Tribunal to have had \u2018worker\u2019 status while providing education services for the Gallery.<\/p>

<\/p>

In common with all publicly funded cultural institutions, the National Gallery operates independently and at arm\u2019s length from Government. Arm\u2019s Length Bodies are required to adhere to all relevant employment law, but their individual staffing structures and contractual arrangements are decisions to be taken solely by the gallery\u2019s executive and trustees.<\/p>

<\/p>

I understand, however, that the National Gallery disputes the way in which aspects of this case have been characterised, including the notion that the employment tribunal was a test case for the \u2018gig economy\u2019 in the arts.

The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and Ministry of Defence both sponsor museums and galleries in England; these are all Arm\u2019s Length Bodies (ALBs).

The Government will be considering the Pimlico Plumbers LTD and another v Smith judgment as we prepare the response to our employment status consultation.
