Guidance
  • PL.3 – It is recognised that some roles may involve ongoing supervision and for other workers, particularly those with specialist skills, supervision may be much less common. Frequency of performance review shall be proportionate to the level of risk present and with reference to relevant, external training credentials. Such factors may justify a decreased frequency of performance review.
  • PL.4 – The GLAA defines specific circumstances which are excluded from the licensing requirements – refer to GLAA website for further information. This standard does not apply where workers are supplied outside of the scope of licensing requirements
  • PL.5 – Definition of worker (taken from https://www.gov.uk/employment-status/worker):
    A person is generally classed as a ‘worker’ if:
    – they have a contract or other arrangement to do work or services personally for a reward (your contract doesn’t have to be written)
    – their reward is for money or a benefit in kind, for example the promise of a contract or future work
    – they only have a limited right to send someone else to do the work (subcontract)
    – they have to turn up for work even if they don’t want to
    – their employer has to have work for them to do as long as the contract or arrangement lasts
    – they aren’t doing the work as part of their own limited company in an arrangement where the ‘employer’ is actually a customer or client
