Covid subsidy payment

[silverbullet]

I often hear Mickey mouse cab company owners bragging about how many drivers work for them.

Are they now claiming the employee subsidy on their behalf?

The world needs to knows!

I work for Free Now. I hope they're not getting anything for me as I haven't worked since we were allowed claim PUP, thanks to Vinny Kearns.

They're probably only claiming for the ones earning 2k per week....the likes of Ken etc.

Is Free Now claiming wage subsidy for the drivers that are working... on top of 15% commission?

Call in for a prearranged FOC coffee and biscuits and enquire.

Ah, so the only real employees of old fashioned cab companies are the telephonist and possibly  a cleaner?
Someone had better tell  the telephonist CEO.

Self employed can claim wage subsidy if you pay yourself a wage... same for proprietary directors.

So a when a taxi middleman says I've 1400 men working for me they're spoofing?

F**king Charlatans!

Technically, while most of us work for dispatch firms, we are self employed. You may be struggling with context.

A bit like Gormless using the term " My men" when referring to the guys paying his wages.
