Acorn:
Realise they are keen for the operator to show the link of the TM and the company. But not as pedantic as you describe. Don’t have access at the moment, but if it is as they say, have a look at the TCs Statutory Documents, or better still as the team leader where is shows it so clearly in the SDs. It is possible it’s a single leader wanting to push a point. The big point is the TM has signed the TM1 form and have a contract. How they are paid is a bit less relevant ( not entirely but you get my point t)
Hi ‘Acorn’, thank you for the comment. Team leader sent me statutory document no 3 explains ;
- A transport manager cannot however be employed through or part of a package supplied by a transport consultancy and any attempt to must be referred to the traffic commissioner.
and continued;
In view of this the matter must now be referred to the traffic commissioner for consideration. In order to allow you the best opportunity I have provided you with a final opportunity to rectify this by providing a new contact and evidence that I believe will confirm the contact is with Mr ***, i.e the payment details being recorded on the contact. If you wish to submit this for consideration please do so by 07/11/2019
They have received employment contract between me and tm, why they care how he is going to be paid??
Another funny things is, I called another person and asked randomly, do I have to put payment details on the contract she said no need. Then I said, why my team leader required? hold on sec,( spoke with team leader) oh yes you will need to put because you team leader requested… is this more like a personal thing that the team leader want to push more and delay…but why
