    South East Sheffield Citizens Advice Bureau v Grayson [2004] IRLR 353 EAT (0 other reports)

Voluntary workers were not "employees" as defined in s.68 of the Disability Discrimination Act 1995, holds the EAT in South East Sheffield Citizens Advice Bureau v Grayson (17 November 2003). Although it is a case concerning the number of employees for the purposes of the "small employer" exclusion in s.7, which will end with effect from 1 October, the EAT provides authoritative guidance on the status of voluntary workers.
