Title: Thursday was pay day for me...
Post by: Taxi_Driver on 31 July 2009, 21:53:54
That is, when my office paid me and all the other drivers for all the account work ive done during the month....
Its rarely correct.....usually underpaid....fiver here....tenner there....and a quick call usually sorts it out...
This morning i checked my statement.....they have surpassed themselves this month....£158 underpayment  >:(

I tried to call this morning.....and got told all lines to accounts dept are busy....wonder why  ::)

Got thro this afternoon.....and after checking, got told, whoops sorry, will make an adustment to credit your account with £158....

Honestly it makes me wonder if they do it on purpose....to try to catch out drivers that dont write down every account job as they do them......so dont have a reference to fall back on when its pay day.....and therefore dont know they've been underpaid or rely on drivers not bothering to check the statement.......mine this month was 2 pages of A4  :-/

You gotta watch the bugga's

I have a mate who was a taxi driver, he told me some horrendous stories about the accounts, booked regulars and some of the stunts pulled with some of the drivers.

Am saying no more. :-X

I wouldn't be at all surprised TD - nothing to beat a running record of what you've done - if you don't look after yourself today no one will :( :( :y

There was only two kinds of fares i wouldn't do.Drug runs for obvious reasons and account work ,because there was some one always trying to work one on you .
