FN are offering a 20% Bobo on CC jobs this weekend.
But will they be charging 15% commission on the Bobo earned ?
To put it simply;
If you earn €100 in FN CC jobs, do they take the 15% commission off first to bring it down to €85 and then add the 20% Bobo (€17) to the €85 to make it up to €102.
The same scenario is to add the 20% Bobo to the €100 to make it €120 and then take 15% commission on the full €120 (charging €18) to again bring it down to €102.
Or will they just charge the 15% commission on the €100 to bring it down to €85 and then pay the full 20% Bobo on the original €100 so the driver will then get €105 ?
-
To me option 3 would seem to be the fairest as they have offered a 20% Bobo and not mentioned that 15% commission would have to be paid on it.
-
Similar email sent to FN and awaiting response.
This will apply to me as I have 33 FN CC jobs done so far since midnight Friday night,
and I really don't wish to pay 15% commission on my hard earned 20% Bobo money.
-
Tough luck Belker but I'd say you will be paying 15% commission the increased amount..They own you now.Do what they tell you or you'll be switched off.

It was a Fookin busy weekend down here.
I'm FN all Gold, Ambassador status and on Priority,
the work fairly flowed and all commission free, with a FN 5% Tip and full PUC.
I fairly Filled my Boots and another night to go.......
-
Its a pity they are going into liquidation on Monday other than that youd be worth a fortune
-
Ken logged in this morning thinking that was a great night..I'm so amazing..how can I make a thread that brags about how many jobs I covered....hmmm...
Ah I know I'll ask a stupid question about the commission and I'll drop in that I covered 33 jobs, .those gobshites won't know how smart and cunning I am."
Did you get your ambassador stickers reapplied on the new motor Kenny?
-
No, not yet MFH, but my FN Ambassadorship still stands until I am re branded.
33 FN jobs over a Friday and Sat night is hardly a Brag ?
FFS ! I did 100 over the June bank holiday, now that was a Brag !
-
Keep that up Kenny and you'll have enough money to buy a new Corolla...
-
Corolla me bollox,he can buy a rolls
-

Yeah....breakfast rolls for the FN staff....that gave him the Mike Reid(Runaround) for his voucher!!
-
Nah I think its donuts they prefere
-
I'm assuming it equates to a 2% bonus.
1x1.2x0.85=1.02
The first job I got after midnight was Ranelagh to Howth.Nearky 50 euro,and he paid cash!Costing me money.
-
How did him paying you in cash cost you money ?

€50 divided by 5 (20%) = €10 extra, which FN have promised to pay on all Sat midday-Sun midnight credit card jobs this w/e, because last week's payment were late, and have yet to be received. Not payable on cash jobs.
-
Will it be paid this week though!! lol

well I certainly would not. E complaining if I got 50 euro fares in the first place
-
I'm not aware of any "3rd Party" banking issues nor have I heard of them in the media, I think FN are fcuked, might be a good idea to insist on all FN jobs are cash i.e. when/if a Card paying job gets into the car tell them the system is fcuked and you gotta be paid in cash.

My reading on their Bobo email stated it started at 12am on Saturday which I took as being midnight Fri night/Sat morn, also they said all CC jobs done on Sat and Sun.
From the FN email;
"In addition to our apology, as one of the drivers affected by this delay, we would like to offer you a 20% top up on every card trip you complete over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday).
Any card job completed between 12am on Saturday 15th August and 11.59pm on Sunday 16th August will be topped up by 20%."
I had 13 FN CC jobs done between Fri/Sat midnight and 6am on Sat morning which I had presumed were on the Bobo.
I got a total of 37 FN CC jobs over Sat and Sun, so expecting to get about 60 to 70 Euro in Bobo in Tuesday's statement depending on wheter they charge commission on the Bobo or not ?
-
I wasn't offered this bonus, possibly because I never work Sat/Sun so it would be pointless to do so, or maybe because my meagre earnings on FN didn't warrant the offer?
-
They didn't charge commission. I'm due €38.02 as 20% of €190.10 as per today's statement.
-
Sounds like a goodwill gesture from FN.Fair play, all they need to do now is pay the drivers.
-

I didn't add up my figures fer the 37 CC jobs that I covered on Sat and Sun but I was expecting about 60 to 70 notes in Bobo.
I got me statement today (a day early) and got a whopping 97.12 in Bobo !
Still nothing to jingle in me bank statement !!
-
I haven't got fuck in my account yet.
I checked it there and I have the usual half a mil on tap but nothing from FreeNow yet.
-
Half a million Lira.....probably about €1.62
-
I still have not been paid fer last week which was promised to be paid today,
maybe we might get another Bobo next weekend ?

Fuck all use unless it ends up in your bank account, I'll wait to see the greenbacks before I accept any more FN jobs
-
Fukkin hell hopefully they sort yis out ASAP...every time the Cork gold medal winner's wages are late another homeless person ends up in a ditch..
-
Most recent update on the newsfeed is they are still blaming some unknown 3rd party.
But at least we will get last weeks wages + Bobo a day early.

Free Now Response to Tralee Taxi Associations request for them to suspend account work untill payment issue is resolved
Hi Terry
Thanks for your email. And apologies for the delay in response (I am currently out of office with only intermittent access to email).
Yes, we were made aware of some delays regarding driver payments last week. The third-party company that manages this on our behalf has informed us that the issue, which was due to a technical problem on their side is being resolved. They began payment processing over the weekend, however we understand that this has not yet gone through to every driver. We appreciate this puts drivers in a difficult situation and so in parallel, we have put in place a contingency plan internally to ensure that drivers are paid as soon as possible, regardless and by tomorrow at the latest. This will include the 20% top up bonus we implemented over the weekend as a goodwill gesture to drivers. We thank drivers for their patience while this is resolved. Needless to say, we are changing the third party provider immediately as this delay is totally unacceptable.
Kind regards
Alan

Are ye that badly stuck for money waiting on the FN grade ?
Do they owe ye a few grand or what ?
-
I'd say as a whole they owe more than a few grand.....has anyone heard if this is just an Ireland only problem or have other countries in which they operate been affected also?

The limey fuckers across the pond are in the same boat with no payment

I can certainly remember a time when I lived from wage to wage albeit 40 years ago, I'm sure there are plenty of Taxi drivers with high mortgages/loans/kids who do so today.

You missed one Stephen, you never start a sentence with "And".
-
No, one doesn't, and I'm sure that Stephen never starts a sentence with a conjunction. He does start a lot of other things however.
-
Correct, Ken. So much illiteracy and so little time! I remember the days when such standards of literacy - or, more appropriately, lack thereof - 'wouldn't of' got a bloke a job flipping burgers.
