Uber and Bolt Driver Claims

Important Notice – Uber and Bolt Driver Claims

Fairmont Legal is no longer accepting new instructions in relation to claims against Uber or Bolt.  We are therefore unable to consider or take on any new claims concerning employment status, holiday pay, minimum wage or other employment-related entitlements involving Uber or Bolt drivers.  We thank all those who have previously contacted us and appreciate your understanding. 

Our Ongoing Work

In a judgment handed down on 8th November 2024, the employment tribunal ruled that Bolt drivers are not, as Bolt tried to argue, self-employed contractors running their own businesses but are in fact “workers”. This ruling grants drivers the right to holiday pay and minimum wage, which they did not have previously.  The issues surrounding the employment status of app-based drivers have played an important role in the development of employment rights and protections within the gig economy.

Fairmont Legal has been involved in representing and advising drivers in relation to employment rights and entitlements arising from their work with Uber and Bolt.
