SELF-EMPLOYED PERSONS AND THEIR RIGHTS

Diplomsko delo raziskuje področje pravic samozaposlenih oseb. Posamezniki, ki svoje delo opravljajo samostojno, neodvisno od drugih in so usmerjeni k dobičku, so samozaposlene osebe in niso delavci. Samozaposlene osebe z naročniki njihovega dela ali storitev sklepajo pogodbe civilnega prava (Tičar, 2012). Pojem samozaposlene osebe najširše definira Zakon o urejanju trga dela (v nadaljevanju ZUTD, 2010) v 5. členu kot: • osebo, ki opravlja poljubno samostojno dejavnost, kot samostojni podjetnik posameznik po zakonu, ki ureja gospodarske družbe, • osebo, ki z osebnim delom samostojno opravlja: umetniško ali katero drugo kulturno dejavnost, dejavnost s področja zdravstva, socialne varnosti, znanosti ali zasebno veterinarsko dejavnost, odvetniško ali notarsko dejavnost, duhovniško oziroma drugo versko dejavnost. V diplomskem delu je opredeljen obsežen pojem samozaposlenih oseb. Predstavljena so pravna razmerja z naročniki njihovega dela in izvedena primerjava z delovnim razmerjem. Opisane so pravice samozaposlenih oseb. Opravljena je primerjava s pravicami zaposlenih oseb v delovnem razmerju. Izpostavljene so nejasnosti položaja samozaposlenih oseb v novih oblikah dela. Z anketnim vprašalnikom je bila izvedena raziskava med samozaposlenimi osebami o poznavanju njihovih pravic. Namen diplomskega dela je z zbranimi informacijami o pravicah samozaposlenih oseb ozavestiti in opozoriti samozaposlene osebe o nujnosti poznavanja njihovih pravic. Uresničevanje in zavzemanje za pravice lahko v prihodnosti pomembno vpliva na položaj samozaposlenih v družbi.This thesis researches the scope of rights of self-employed persons. Individuals who pursue their work autonomously, independently of the others and are profit-oriented are self-employed and are not employees. Self-employed persons conclude a civil law contract with contracting authorities procuring their work or services (Tičar, 2012). The concept of self-employed person is in its widest sense defined by the Act Regulating the labour market (hereinafter UBI) in Article 5 as: • a person who carries out any independent activity, such as sole proprietors under the law governing commercial companies, • a person who with personal labour independently performs: artistic or any other cultural activity, activity in the field of health care, social security, science or private veterinary activities, lawyer or notary activity or a religious activity. The thesis defines the comprehensive concept of self-employed persons. It presents the legal relationships with the contracting authorities of their work or services and the comparison made with the employment relationship. It describes the rights of self-employed persons in comparison with the rights of employees in an employment relationship. Exposed are the unclear situations of self-employed persons in the new forms of work. A survey was conducted among the self-employed persons on the knowledge of their rights, focusing on the self-employed persons. The purpose of this thesis was to collect information about the rights of self-employed persons to raise awareness about the necessity of knowledge of their rights. Implementation and promotion of the rights can have a significant impact on the situation of the self- employed persons in society in the future
