Are you using the companies fuel card ? Is your Van sign written with the companies logo ? Trying to work out how they they seem to think they are within their rights to ask you to
Comply with their request
no fuel card being used, no sign writing on van. I can’t work it out other than they have issues with my hours I’m booking and where I am each day.... they have no reason to put a tracker on my van in my eyesAre you using the companies fuel card ?

I had a similar thought in mind.I'd be more concerned about the implications of things like IR35 biting you in the arse. So yes, I can't think of any possible reason why I as an employer could justify asking a sub contractor to fit a tracker for my benefit, so I doubt very much they could either.
I think you may be muddling up the TUPE rules, here.I don't know the regulation, but if within the company there is someone who could do the job you are sub-contracted to do they must employ that person permanently to carry out that work, they may be wanting to prove to the IR that they employ a sub-contractor because no one else has the expertise to carry out the work and that you work on other projects, the rules are a bit complicated and they may need the proof.
IR35, indeed. Basically you have to be able to prove that you are bona-fide self employed which means demonstrating that you have more than one principle client.No, its Inland Revenue employment laws I was referring too, not transfer rules, it's all about employing someone permenatley rather than temporarily which applies to sub-contractors and consultants alike.
And that you choose your own working time, and supply your own tools, the list of proof is quite long.IR35, indeed. Basically you have to be able to prove that you are bona-fide self employed which means demonstrating that you have more than one principle client.
Not in the UK statutory law... in France, maybe. I've employed many hundreds of people over the years and used umpteen contractors... nobody can even check this sort of thing. I suspect that in a large organisation, this sort of rule may apply but it's not statutory law in the UK.I don't know the regulation, but if within the company there is someone who could do the job you are sub-contracted to do they must employ that person permanently to carry out that work, they may be wanting to prove to the IR that they employ a sub-contractor because no one else has the expertise to carry out the work and that you work on other projects, the rules are a bit complicated and they may need the proof.
I did say basically... ?And that you choose your own working time, and supply your own tools, the list of proof is quite long.
