Our building is next to Amazon in Bolton.

We watch the AmaZombies shuffling in to work in the morning...

I used to travel on the bus with the poor bastards.

Talk about a fate worse than death.

It's a piece of plastic that can be exchanged for sterling for a commission / fee. It would be interesting to see it challenged in court.

Yep - but I suspect the lawyers have done just enough to keep it legal...

Nope it's Sterling just stored on a card rather than in a bank account.

Prepayment card sound illegal.

Nope - just pointing out the end game.

I can give you examples if you want Sports Direct warehouse workers are a great example, Amazon has slightly better (but not much) T&Cs....

Yep - he's definitely missing tricks.

I've recommended the Sports Direct warehouse approach.

Employ via an (100% mate owned) agency - you don't want to do nasty firing stuff offload it to others
Payment via an umbrella company (that charges the NRE)
Payment via a prepayment card which charges for cash withdrawals and profits from other usage.

From memory that prepayment card also charged a separate fee for all transactions but I can't find the original article to confirm that.

Edit to add - not quite - it had an initial purchase fee and a reload fee (on top of the umbrella deductions)..

I love that! I want to buy that person a beer (on expenses, of course)
Shared on linked in cos I like it lots

Me too!

My only comment is why would I have a no rights employee on my own payroll - that's a hassle I wouldn't want - use the agency's payroll or umbrella company instead.
