Have you thought about getting some help for the driving phobia?

Pubs tend to have NMW jobs and I would be VERY surprised indeed if any of them were prepared to pay a taxi fare for staff, as well as their wages. I've certainly never heard of it.
Of course, if you can produce:
a. Evidence that HMRC will allow this without deducting tax from it (ie the number of relevant paragraph, relevant page its on from HMRC manuals, etc)
AND
b. Evidence that its commonplace for pubs to cover the taxi fares of their staff after their turn of duty (ie as well as pay them wages)

Sorry dear, you have obviously never worked in managing or owning a pub, if I get a moment over the weekend I'll look out my last set of accounts from when I did and let you see the total for the year of my contract with the local taxi firm
BTW a taxi was provided for all staff with no evening transport from the pot washer to the manager and was not dependant on their wage level.Its not that we have more patience as we grow older, its just that we're too tired to care about all the pointless drama

I can't believe that people are believing this? :rotfl:
Take a stranger into your home, a kick boxer at that :rotfl:
Get a taxi home from work I think you will find its an allowable expense for the pub to pay for it.
Leave the newbie alone! This is like the 10th time now seeing newbie's being lynched by the mob! You have missed the part where she says she has a driving phobia. I expect though you will say that is a convenient lie to sell her story. I mean family disputes over money never happens so it must be a wind up :doh:Sorry dear, you have obviously never worked in managing or owning a pub, if I get a moment over the weekend I'll look out my last set of accounts from when I did and let you see the total for the year of my contract with the local taxi firm

But it was further selling the aspersion quoted in the 1st post that the thread is a wind up

When I worked for a night club we got staff taxis home. Had to pay a flat rate of £2 and the work covered the rest.0
