Now that would be the $64,000 question.

So why don't the drivers threaten to take their dispute to ACAS after all if the cars are owned by the company and they are on a split purse deal they are actually employed by the company and are entitled to employees rights

Because like most drivers in this position, they haven't got a clue. The woman that answers the phone and passes out the jobs has been told that she is self employed. She gets £4.00 per hour. :roll:


They should be reported for illegally paying below minimum wage

There was a meeting at this company last Thursday and I am told that the board operator is no longer on £4.00 per hour. She has had to take a pay cut.
I don't know if it has to be the actual person who is being underpaid that has to do the reporting or if anyone can.
There has just been a case at another company where the board operater has claimed for being paid under the minimum wage and HMRC has ordered the company to pay up. The company has appealed against this at the moment and it is going to court or tribunal.
