Does accepting work through Jobaro make someone self-employed?

No. Employment status depends on the real working arrangement, not merely the label used in a profile or contract.

General information only. Jobaro does not provide legal, tax, accounting, employment, tenancy or health-and-safety advice. Your circumstances and location matter.
