UBER CLAIMS

About

The Supreme Court of the United Kingdom heard Uber’s final appeal against drivers employment rights in July 2020.The outcome of the court’s decision is expected soon. Please see our Frequently Asked Questions section for the affect the court’s decision could have on all Uber drivers compensation entitlement, income, employment status, tax status and employment rights.

EMPLOYMENT RIGHTS

Whilst Uber Drivers are and continue to remain self-employed for tax purposes, worker employment status would give drivers two basis employment rights:

  • Right to take holiday leave and be paid for it
  • Right not to receive less than minimum wage after expenses

HOLIDAY PAY RIGHTS

A driver with worker employment status working 40 hours per week would be entitled to receive 5.6 weeks holiday leave per year and be paid for it.

Part time driver would be entitled to holiday leave on a pro rata basis.

Holiday pay is generally calculated at 12.07% of annual income after expenses.

A driver with worker employment status working 40 hours per week and earning £12.00 per hour after expenses could be entitled to £3,012.00 compensation per annum for unpaid holiday leave.

By way of further example, a driver with worker employment status working 40 hours per week earnings £2.00 less than the minimum wage after expenses could be entitled to £2,720.00 compensation per annum for unpaid holiday leave.

The issues before the Supreme Court are:
1- Whether Uber drivers are “workers” for employment status purposes?
2- If they are “workers”, what periods constitutes their “working time”?

If the Supreme Court dismisses Uber’s appeal on both issues then the original employment tribunal ruling will stand meaning that:
1- Uber drivers will be classed as “workers” for employment status purposes and
2- For ‘working time’ purposes, drivers would be regarded as working during any period when they were within the territory in which they were authorised to work, had the Uber app switched on and were ready and willing to accept trips.
