Sweet FA 2020 Winner: Jules Doyle
During lockdown Jules used her social media skills to raise over £5,000 for COVID charities and meals for the NHS. It was a successful social campaign, with the press being a huge support with a homepage takeover on LivingEtc Magazine, to name just one of the fifteen publications that featured the art auction. Artists as prestigious as Julie Cockburn donated pieces.
Jules worked day and night to make the auction a huge success, donating her free time.
We met with Jules to see how she feels about being a Sweet FA 2020 winner and to learn a little more about her.
How does it feel to be a Sweet FA 2020 winner?
I’m over the moon to be a Sweet FA 2020 winner. It’s brilliant that YJ supports and recognises the freelance community.
| Old rule (2021 Independent Contractor Rule) | New Rule (Effective March 11, 2024) | |
|---|---|---|
| Basis of classification | Relied on a simpler, more straightforward approach that may not fully capture the complexity of modern work relationships. | Restores a multifactor "economic reality" test that considers a wider range of factors to determine employment status. |
| Legal consistency | Criticised for deviating from established legal precedent and potentially leading to more misclassifications. | Aims to align closely with longstanding legal precedent, offering more clarity and consistency in classification decisions. |
| Impact on workers | Concerns were raised that it might make it easier to classify workers as independent contractors, potentially denying them employment benefits. | Seeks to reduce the risk of misclassification, ensuring workers who should be classified as employees receive the benefits and protections that they're entitled to receive. |
| Guidance for employers | Provide a simpler framework for employers to classify workers, which could lead to broader interpretations and confusion. | Offers detailed guidance through the economic reality test, aiming to provide a clearer path for proper classification and reduce misclassifications. |

Why did you create the art auction?
I set up the auction because I wanted to put my social skills to good use and a little give back. It was rewarding, spontaneous and real fun!
