I am sure I read it somewhere, possibly something to do with the national framework, or council rules but cannot find it on the council site.
It was along the lines of if a driver does school contracts, that driver must be employed, along with any escorts

Again I ask you. Employed by whom?

The contractor surely

And of course seeing school runs are scheduled ALL drivers doing them are able to claim Worker Under the Direction of Company status ie employment rights, PAID holidays , sick pay, so get in there

The company the driver works for, due to them being told when to start, after all a contract has a start time, so if a driver is told they must pick up little Johnny at 8 AM, the driver has to do it, they could refuse, but what if no other driver available, after all it was the company who put in for the contract

Nothing to say you have to be an employee...I own my business as do many other School run providers so I have no option but to be self Employed.

Loads of folk these days work for a company but still prefer to be classed as self employed even though it may be their only "Job" as such..Motor Mechanics, Painters etc...it just suits them and the folk that pay them to do it that way.
