MISLEADING - Trade Plater Vale Vehicle Movements Employee Review

Working with a variety of cars etc

what isnt told to new drivers is that it takes on average about £30 per day expenses of which the company will only pay back to the driver 50% the other 50% will have to be claimed back through HMRC by using the drivers accountant, that said that will only be able to be paid back to the driver at the end of every April (New Financial Year ) so lets assume this is your first month and you earn £1500 per month, deduct £75 For Trade plates and insurance, the £600 for the months travel expenses, this leaves the driver with £825 then add the 50% travel expenses this gives £1125, and then PAYE Tax at 20% you will make £900 this is what you will pick up??? and if you then work out the hours spent on the road and transferring from job to job which is on average 14 hours a day 20 working days is 280 hours, divide £900 by 280 hours gives you an hourly rate after tax of £3.21p....... yep £3.21p astounding isnt it in this day and age... factor in all the negatives like cant get to a job you might have to hitch hike and working constantly tired......its very very poor....there is a law against working all those hours and its called the working time agreement....regardless of if your travelling from job to job on public transport in this doesnt constitute down time

Occasional nice car but that's all

Lies lies and lies Low pay Long hours
