looks like this driver has quit now anyway he freaked out yesterday when i asked him to help out a few minutes past the time he had asked to finish then when i phoned him last night to sort out today and tomorrow asked him if he'd calmed down and he started yelling at me saying he hadn't freaked out and he's not turned up today so think he's quit maybe for the best though he's doing too much trying to manage parcel rounds for hermes and drive taxis maybe he needs some time off to get into serious financial difficulties and getting dictated to by Hermes to appreciate how much we did for him at times !!
Responsible proprietor/operator would say "Either be a taxi driver or a parcel delivery driver but you are not going to be here trying to be both."
You mean dictate who a self employed driver can work for? That would make him an employee.
at least it avoids driver exhaustion and any possible culpable manslaughter charge in any tragedy..
"You knew he worked 40 hours for Hermes and let him drive 60 for you?"
he defo does NOT work 100 hours a week he is working fewer hours for us than he used to and some of the time combining both i.e. boot full of parcels but covering bookings still situation is being constantly monitored by me
