Can I sue for £12,000 by the delivery company that hired me?
I worked as a contractor for a delivery company that promised bonuses based on if you onboarded and supported new drivers if they took on a full delivery route.
In my contact it said you had to do ride-alongs with new drivers for 3 days and if they got their full round in about a week. I was told by my supervisor that onboarding by phone was fine and ride alongs were not necessary for the first few. Then I was basically given all the drivers in a massive area of England to onboard and support and essentially answering any message (when they came in) for 18+ hours a day to help them via text. Never was I told by management that what I was doing was wrong.
I have evidence I was asked to onboard by phone by management and not do the ride alongs.
For 6 months I worked like this and kept asking every month why I was not paid properly. Finally I found out it was because I was not doing the ride alongs.
I was asked to onboard over 140 drivers and was paid for about 6 of them, do I have a case?
Edit: the £12000 is calculated from what I was not paid from the bonuses. £150 pound if they complete the full round (usually after a week) and further payments if they continue longer. Over 70 made it to the full round hence the £12000. I have the records
