Try 6am till 10pm with no breaks, it's not a exaggeration.

I always thought the likes of Hermes and Uber would get away with it forever and they haven't. All it needs is for someone to take them to court.

You would expect HMRC would, as these installers would fail HMRC'a self employment flow chart (which I know well). If they phoned up HMRC they would be told that they are employed, not self employed.

I honestly believe they will continue to get away with it, since HMRC have been aware of this for at least 10 years or more.
