I hope this does not upset anyone but thought as there was a post mainly for us retired people to discuss what we do at our leisure that there should also be a post for those still working to post. Just as some might be jealous of our freetime, some might be missing work cammeradery.

But it's HMRC that will decide......not Dinnertogo.
Write your comments here...Dinnertogo may be new to the Worthing area but they were already established in the Brighton and Hove area for ten years! During those ten years they have been using drivers on a similar contract to mine, so they would already be known and approved by HMRC.

How many payrolls do you have to do HelenandTrevor?
Once a week, but as I will be away, I have to do the drivers pay for the weeks I am away too.
Wow didnt know people still got paid weekly. I assumed we'd all moved to four weekly or monthly.
Write your comments here...I get paid daily by dinnertogo! It keeps the bank staff busy as I have to bank the money everyday!
Malcolm you seem to be the exception to every rule

There's an interesting article here about the national minimum wage / living wage.
You will see that freelance workers are amongst those covered by the national living wage.
It also describes how 'piece work' workers should have their rates per item (delivery?) calculated, to ensure that they can achieve the minimum wage. In simple terms, the rate per item (delivery?) should be set at such a rate that an 'average' speed worker can achieve 1.2 times the national living wage (this allows slower than average workers to have a chance of achieving te national living wage).
Interesting.

If people stopped egging the respondent on we might see an end to the trolling. But the CC are ulimately responsible for this web site even when it could be putting new members off. If I was new and saw this ego trip there's no way I'd want to join.
It was said tongue in cheek Brue, and in no way would I 'egg him on' I even considered I might get a rap over the knuckles from a champion for posting it. While there is a forum that gives stars to posters then this sort of thing will happen. As I have said many times before - Stop the star system.

It wasn't an indiviual criticism, but people who keep probing and challenging for more informtion will get it as it just fuels the fire.
As it says in the guidelines "do not feed the trolls"
Incidentally I don't think trolling is stopped by not having stars.
