taxi Centre supports 2020 sCottish awards
The Taxi Centre is proud to be one of the official supporters of next year’s Scottish Taxi and Private Hire Awards. This is the second year that The Taxi Centre, which was established in 2001 and is part of Vertu Motors plc, has backed the awards. In the inaugural collaboration, it supplied a Seat Leon Estate to one of the main sponsors
to use as a prize along with sponsoring the award for best staff member which was won by Mr Kelly Martin from Wellman Cars. In the run-up to the 2020 ceremony, being held next March, The Taxi Centre has provided the organisers with the same model vehicle. This car is expected to cover 20,000 miles as it criss-crosses Scotland during the next 12 months raising awareness of the awards. Stephen Porter, branch manager of The Taxi Centre, said: “The taxi and private hire industry is vital to communities and people whether they live in cities, towns or rural locations.” “These accolades turn the spotlight on companies and individuals making their mark in the sector.” “It is important that excellence, exceptional customer service and innovation is celebrated in this way and I would urge those wanting to find out more to visit
www.stphawards.co.uk” Mr Porter added: “The Scottish Taxi and Private Hire Awards provide an ideal platform for us to further increase our profile within the business community.” The ceremony will feature a series of awards, honouring individuals and businesses, culminating in the crowning of the Scottish Taxi and Private Hire Company of the Year. Over the last 18 years, The Taxi Centre in Paisley, Glasgow has supplied more than 20,000 cars to the taxi and private hire industry across the UK. The company keeps over 200 new vehicles in stock at any time from a range of models and manufacturers so the car you need is never more than a matter of days away from delivery.

Could you owe siCk pay to your fleet's drivers?
In late 2018, judges dismissed Uber’s appeal against a landmark employment tribunal ruling that its drivers should be classed as workers with access to the minimum wage and paid holidays, in a case that could affect thousands of private hire fleets.
The case began when two Uber drivers, James Farrar and Yaseen Aslam, took Uber to court on behalf of a group of 19 others who argued that they were employed by the company, rather than working for themselves. It is one of a string of cases that have challenged the self-employed sta- tus of gig economy workers, including action against the minicab firm Addison Lee and the delivery groups CitySprint, Excel and eCourier. Crucially, the rulings may have big implications for private hire and taxi fleets across the UK. Increasingly, fleet operators are becoming con- cerned that the structure of their processes and operations may change the legal status of self-employed drivers who carry out work for the fleet. For instance, some fleets are receiving card payments on behalf of their drivers, then manually calculating how much each driver is owed on a weekly or monthly basis, before paying out to each driver's bank account. Not only does this process create a significant amount of administrative hassle and banking charges for the fleet operator; the way the payment flows may inadvertently create circumstances in which drivers are con- sidered workers or employees, with rights to sick pay, holiday pay, parental leave and other benefits. This could, of course, be very costly for private hire fleets. CabCard Services is a specialist card payment processor and has been working with fleets in the taxi and private hire sector since 2007. Because CabCard pays out directly to each driver's bank account, Cab- Card can help your fleet to reduce costs and administrative burden, while ensuring that there is no confusion about drivers' employment status. Call CabCard today to find out how CabCard can help to save your fleet money and grow your business.
