Wot I said on another thread on here. £359 for 52 hours work, is it really worth working all those hours for less than minimum wage?

Like the local new boy in Lydd, overheard telling the 'ian at the car wash he's making £1000 a week PROFIT....in this part of the world, I think not, especially as his car seems to be parked outside his house every time I go past.

I hope HMRC aren't monitoring this site!

Its better than PH here imagine working 12hours a day doing £3 fares all day for 7 days and taking home £200-250 a week thats what you call a saad miserable life.
They litrally earning £2-3 a hour
So im happy in hack.


I'm glad I'm not a ph in your area, I did more Fri/Sat than you earned for 52 hours. Come to think of it I'm glad I'm not a hack in your area either :wink:

I made total £718 last week + about £50 in tips
As im a driver i get 50% so 359+ tips
I pay nothink
Quote:
owner pays fuel everythink
i just take my 50%


Under the inland revenue rules working that way, your an employee, so the owner is breaking the law.
I bet you dont take that every week, and dont get paid for your holidays or receive sick pay
So you should receive £316.16 every week if you do the same hours, minus tax and NI

I think you'll find you pay for everything with the 50% you don't take :wink:

I have had 4 Saturday nights this year where I have took over £500 and last year I had 2 of them. And yes the tax man does know. Well he know about last years. This year is still ongoing but he will know at the end.
