Tom undertook a 30 day vocational placement at an advertising company as part of his marketing degree. He really enjoyed the work and had become involved in a major campaign the company was working on. The manager of the advertising company offered Tom the opportunity to continue the arrangement over the semester break so he could see the campaign through to the end. Tom agreed and worked unpaid for 3 weeks over the semester break. As the extra work performed over the semester break wasn't a requirement of Tom's marketing degree, it did not form part of the vocational placement. If Tom was completing productive work during the 3 week period, it would be likely that he would be an employee and entitled to be paid for the work performed.
