The scandal of self-employed cleaners on London Underground
Submitted by Eamonn Lynch on 22 January, 2015 - 08:11LONDON UNDERGROUND FINGERED IN TAX EVASION SCAM
AGS people and LUL are complicit in a tax evasion scam whereby they use the self-employed status of workers to avoid paying employers National Insurance liabilities to HMRC, SSP and holiday pay to the workers and destroy pretty much every right a worker in the UK enjoys.
Workers, even agency workers, have certain rights and protections. A self-employed cleaner has none. I would be interested to see the actual contract between the self-employed and LUL or its sub-contractor, if one even exists.
