Minimum wage, holiday pay and the gig economy
Discussion
I do a bit of weekend work for an activity company.
It has always been fixed rate, however it is out of different locations and can take varying times, typically 5-7 hours. (not a controlled time).
Pay has been a fixed rate, and hasn't increased for many years. When goes above about 6 hours, it is below minimum wage, and also doesn't include any holiday pay allowance. Pay is paye (no tax allowance as that is on the real job...), so certainly not self employed. If it is cancelled on site, pay is about £3/ hour... It is enjoyable, but it is hard work and reasonably skilled for a none professional role. It can be cancelled a few hours beforehand.
Am I being a grump, or should I be expecting a bit more..?
