Taxi Driver Online

The base would only need ONE driver to state they COULD earn the NMW for a case to fall apart

The estimated rates the guy quotes above equate to £5 per hour for one lot, and £6.25 for the one that included night rate.

This is a message I've tried to get across in other posts on here and elsewhere. If ANY cabby, hack or ph done his sums right, he'd be surprised at how little per hour they actually earn.

The proprietors know this and know that a lot(not everyone I hasten to add) do the job because they are possibly desperate to get ANY work or unable to grasp the nettle and go properly self-employed. luckily where I am there are no big forms, all small one or two car operations, but even some of those haven't got a clue about costings! Maybe I'llk start a separate thread on that when I get time.

I wish they had started this group two years ago, so the LC could see what is meant by PH driving serfs!!

The last time somebody tried to rebel against Satellite the ring leaders were either employed in the office or asked to hand their sets back to the office

I had a driver from another company ask me for a job recently. She told me that the other company made it so that all drivers earned the minimum wage. I asked how they did it and I could not believe the answer.
Basically they were told to work out how much they took home and divide this by the minimum wage and the answer would be the number of hours that had been worked. They were also using the wrong rate for the minimum wage.
This driver was saying that she was working around 16 hours a week but she was in fact working 50 hours per week.

If the drivers had half a brain, they'd be claiming Working Tax Credit as well.

They probably are but they shouldn't have to. These companies make millions and drivers have to claim benefits, something ain't right

Also make you wonder what they're going to do when this government is finished cutting benefits.

That's not the bloody point is it ffs. Drivers shouldn't have to be claiming benefits when they're throwing the hours in these guys do. I don't work for this firm and always vowed I'd jack it in before I ever had to. I do pick punters up who say they've rang Satellite first but couldn't get any answer. With over 300 drivers paying £103 per week one begs the question why the customers can't get an answer.

...makes an annual turnover of £1,606,800 at least! I bet the owners don't need to claim benefits!

That's just one side of the company the other two sides are Davy Liver in Liverpool and Cabfind

well, funny you should say that

consider that it may be a ltd company, the directors could pay themselves £100 a week PAYE and claim WFTC, HB, etc, etc, all 100% legally

you only need to know the law
