Uber, Checkatrade, MyBuilder etc.

Interesting...., the ramifications could be far and wide. Not used any sites like those, but guess some company bosses got the jitters tonight.
 
I am sure if you worked on site for the same firm on day work for set amount of time they had to employ on the cards... I got lectured on how I worded my invoice all those years ago....

most firms set up their own agency to run their sub contractors. one woman in an office to control the paperwork, by doing this they avoid paying redundancy to their self employed staff who do not issue quotes for the contracts.
 
Most big firms make you fill out a form that stops them from having to pay you holiday pay and uber will get round that no problem
 
Wonder of it will apply for Addison Lee drivers too?

I always thought if you worked for a company for 6 weeks then they would have take you on the cards but if you supplied materials then you were a sub contractor.

It is the same you tosser. If not today exactly it might be next week or next year. Things change.
 
Uber will not let that happen though blackdog and most of the uber drivers don't want it cause they lose their benefits it was only 2 drivers who brought this action the rest will not follow it up
 
Must admit its not the same concept at all..next people will be comparing hungry house and just eat to checkatrade lol..ur excused tho blackdog ur a spread were all a thick bunch at heart especially @theplasterman...man that guy is thick :-)
 
To be honest blackdogs assumption is right all platforms he mention are in a way provider of work who take a commission based on job

But hungry house etc don't send you jobs though
 
It's very simple though, with uber you work on a self employed basis, if you/they don't like it don't do it, it's very simple really.
 
They charge for each lead based on the value of the lead don't they?

Approximate job size
Shortlist fee
Up to £75 £2
£75 - £125 £3
£125 - £250 £5
£250 - £400 £8
£400 - £750 £12
£750 - £1,500 £18
£1,500 - £3,000 £25
£3,000 + £35

You said it's commission and it's not, you pay a nominal fee per lead which absolutely no one is obliged to pay if they do wish to use the lead.

Like it or not it's the cheapest form of advertising with the added bonus of reviews from other users.

But back to the original point, how can Checkatrade/my builder be deemed to be employing people on a self employed basis or otherwise it's just ridiculous
