Join the Bolt backdated pay claim

If you currently drive for Bolt, or have done in the last ten weeks, you may be eligible to make a claim for compensation for backdated pay. If you would like to be part of the claim, then sign up below!

UPHD has negotiated a deal with major legal firm Leigh Day to represent our members on a “no win, no fee” basis, with only 20% commission + VAT (total of 24%). Only members of the IWGB UPHD union can get this discount. Click here to join the union!

It only takes a few minutes to get started. You do not need to provide any documents at this stage. To find out if you are eligible to join the claim, just fill in the form below. Please make sure that the information you provide us with is accurate, so we can reliably assess your eligibility for a claim. Once we have assessed your eligibility to make a claim, we will get in touch with you to let you know if we can proceed.

If you are eligible to make a claim, Leigh Day will then need you to provide more details and relevant documents such as tax returns. We will also need you to collaborate and communicate with Leigh Day and the union on a regular basis to ensure the claim can go forward effectively and smoothly as it proceeds to the Employment Tribunal.

Please remember that you must be a member of the IWGB for your case to be referred to Leigh Day. If you are not a member, your case will not be referred to Leigh Day. It takes two minutes to join and you can join on this page and complete the form after choosing "Private Hire Driver".

At this early stage, it is not possible for us to give a prediction of how long your claim will take to be concluded to a satisfactory outcome. This will depend on any complexities arising within the claim.

The IWGB’s United Private Hire Drivers branch (UPHD) is the union for drivers in the UK. Whether or not you want to make a claim, you should become a union member today.

As a UPHD member you will have our support if you face problems such as licensing issues, unfair deactivations and unpaid fares. You will also be part of an active, grassroots union led by drivers, which is campaigning for better working lives and for justice, dignity and respect for all drivers.

As well as campaigning for better rights at Bolt and other operators, we are currently fighting to end unfair deactivations and for better driver safety. You can find out more about our campaigns and can join the union.
