Under EU law, a 'worker' is defined as a person who performs services for and under the direction of another person in return for which he receives remuneration. The work must be effective and genuine, not on such a small scale as to be regarded as purely marginal and ancillary. The fact that the EU citizen is doing work of economic value, even if the remuneration is below the national minimum wage, qualifies him as a worker under EU law.
Key Point: The definition of a 'worker' under EU law focuses on the economic value of the work performed, not the level of remuneration. As long as the work is effective and genuine, the individual is considered a worker.
