Overview

Just Eat couriers could be due thousands of pounds in backpay. This is because Just Eat couriers are currently – and some lawyers believe wrongly – classed as self-employed independent contractors.  

Legal experts believe Just Eat couriers should be classed as ‘workers’ or ‘employees’. Workers and employees are entitled to a range of rights and protections that self-employed contractors are not – including the National Minimum Wage and holiday pay.  

Lawyers have launched group action claims to help affected couriers claim back the money they should have received from Just Eat. If successful, these couriers could receive thousands of pounds in backpay.
