Travel payments

[Georgemidnight]

Hi guys,

Looking at starting a new job soon with a lad who works for himself, who used to work at my current company.

Was just wondering if anyone here had/have similar experience. I thought travel time would be included but it’s not, I’ll be getting to his house for 6; get on site for 7 then leave between 3-4. I’d only be paid for the hours on site rather than the hour from his to site and back, is this normal?

(UK by the way) thanks

I'm cards in for a company and get paid after 30mins of travel. So if I travel 1 hour to a job I'll be paid 30 minutes at normal rate.

I think even that's taking the mickey, if your driving then your working.

And if you’re the passenger you’re probably sleeping.

That's the best part about it! I've been paid for about 10 hours of sleeping this week
