Uber | HR issues still plague firm ahead of '£75bn' business moment

Ridesharing company Uber has been at the centre of a number of HR issues in the past, and in the coming weeks documents will be made public for a stock market listing that could value the app at more than £75billion ($100billion).

However, these documents will detail lengthy disclosures on its pending lawsuits and government investigations, including any issues dating back to when the company was run by former Chief Executive Travis Kalanick, the Financial Times reported.

The firm’s structure of business has several risk factors; for example, Uber relies on a workforce of drivers, which the company does not consider to be employees. This means that it does not have to meet regulations about pay and benefits.

Despite this decision to help keep labour costs down, it has sparked a number of legal claims from staff that want better terms for their job roles. Similarly, the decision has caused Uber to come under scrutiny from regulators around the world.
