Walked out of an interview today

chester1:
its employing the no brain johnny foreiners thats made him charge for the damage thay are who he’s sacking

Funny you say that cos that’s exactly how it was the firms gone bust now and not before time…

greggy:
how many people are going to beleive they can make you pay for damage.

they cannot make you pay. FULL STOP

Possession is 9/10ths of the law. If they say you pay, and dock you out of your wages, then there’s not a lot you can do to get that money back, because it’s in your contract.

Just don’t go there, don’t sign the damned contract, don’t work for crooks that’ll steal your pay on any pretence. :wink:

Holy thread revival !!

Just a quick question maybe somebody can answer.

How do these firms get around paying the national minimum wage that’s what I’d like to know? Not just this firm, probably most haulage firms that pay a daily rate and aren’t paying by the hour ■■?

If you’re working the max hours (13 & 15 hour days) you can a week it probably works out to about 5.85 per hour and that’s including your night out money. Without your night out money (… say 33.00 per night out x 5 nights) that’s 3.84 per hour !!!

Just wondered how the government, or even the EU impliments these rights yet they don’t extend to many drivers out there :question:

Stick a discrete decimal point on the contract before you sign it :wink:

£480 per week, you could earn that on days in the uk or if you’re lucky just work saturday and sunday for an agency. Stobarts could run you friday to monday and i’m sure you’d be on more than that for easy, no hastle UK work. I don’t understand this yearning for “doing Europe” fair enough if it’s good money but many blokes do it for the same if not a lot less than running in the UK, I know all the arguments for preferring to run in Europe but I just wouldn’t do it unless there was a significant premium.

how many people are going to beleive they can make you pay for damage.

they cannot make you pay. FULL STOP

i’ve had such a crap week. will you get me the contact details of this knobhead. i really need to speak to him, as it will cheer me up.
