It has created millions of job for the people who were jobless; they were able to earn a livelihood for themselves. The organization has done a tremendous job on its part since the time it has started its endeavor.

In the recent times, it is evident that the organization is facing too many hardships. It is actually having a real hard time, in coping up with the issues which are imposed on it. The company recently a huge jolt on the financial front and it is still recovering from it. Uber still holds a good business amongst its rivals and it seems to be consistent in creating a good amount of revenue.

It is important that the drivers, who ride the Uber cars, should have a social security number. This is mandatory for every working professional and if they do not possess one, it is considered to be illegal. At present, the company had to face a jolt from the law authorities in Switzerland. It clearly made a statement that the cars which are used by Uber are contract based and the drivers do not have a social security number.

The insurance organization in Swiss made an acquisition against the company for running a business of this kind. Uber has renowned itself in all parts of the world, it is now available in almost 450 cities. The growth which the company had is really tremendous and outstanding. It has put a lot of effort to attain this stature and has a strong hold on its achievement.

It is not Swiss which has made an obligation on not following the rules which are followed in the respective countries. There are many other countries which have been accusing the fact of Uber not pursuing its job in the right fashion. The organization has been bypassing the factors which they need to follow and they have been providing rides to the general public by the drivers who are self-employed.

An individual organization provides an insurance called as on the job accident insurance. This is will be considered for the people who are self-employed and they need to follow the norms. When the turn came for the Uber drivers, they happened to come under the scrutiny. There were certain things which were considered, following the rules set by Uber and payment options.

Unfortunately, it is so that the drivers were not pursuing the norms which were asked to be followed by the insurance agency. It is similar to something which happened in London, a few drivers were laid off from their jobs. They were unable to make the right payments which they need to pay to the insurance agencies. But, there are things which needed to sort out by the officials from the organization.

It doesn’t matter from which kind of background does the driver of Uber comes, it is essential that they abide by the laws. There are a different set of laws in each city which has to be followed to avoid any kind of consequences. A few things which need to be considered are pays for working on holidays, compensation in case of emergencies, mandatory necessities for everyday purposes and leaves from work, etc.

One of the most important things is that the driver for the cab needs to be insured. If in case the driver gets into an accident, it is essential that the driver is insured. Only then they will be able to handle all the medical bills they need to pay. According to the federal law, if a driver is driving a car without insurance, it is illegal. They can be summoned from their work and may not be allowed until they get themselves insured.

Drivers, who are working for Uber, are considered to be the employees of the organizations. They cannot be considered as the people who work on contract; this is what the law is in Swiss states. The insurance agencies of the country have made it clear that the drivers need to possess a social security number and make payments for the insurance at the right time.

Social security should be provided by the employer, which is in a fact that Uber needs to pay for the social security of the particular driver. There are accusations made against the organization that they have sidelined the labor protection law for their drivers. This is the reason the company is facing too many issues and it is finding hard to make up to the problems and bring a solution to it.

There are millions of people around the world, who can drive a car after the ride-hailing company has started its company. This has been a great opportunity for the people who have been jobless and finally, they were able to make some money. It was possible for them to do so because they were able to take people to different places. Uber has been of great help to the commuters and the drivers as well, the commuters were able to reach their location on time and the drivers started to earn.

On the flip side, it literally brought in too many issues for the organization to handle. The organization started to expand its service to many different countries, but each country had its own rules. A few accusations which were made stated that the technology on which Uber is currently working doesn’t seem to be promising in any manner.

This one factor indeed makes the complete service seem to be not viable in the first place. The issues which the company has been facing are predominantly based on the recruitment, background verification, and insurance. These are the main factors which Uber had to face, in whichever country it has provided its service to the people.

It is important that the Uber is fulfilling all the requirements which are under the law. They need to make sure that providing the social security, compensation in case of unemployed and insurance in case of emergency or accident. Every city has its own labor protection standards and it is mandatory that they are followed. If it is not followed, then the person who is working for the organization might get laid off from their work.

The consequence which the company might face in the future is if they do not abide by the law in the particular state or city. There might be a ban on the service itself, which will be a great setback for the firm. Recently the organization had to leave China, as they were unable to cope with the obligations which were made against the company.

Uber had to face a huge amount of loss as an impact of leaving the country. So, if this continues to happen on a regular basis, then it is for sure that the company is going to face many downfalls. The company has been facing issues and obligations from all parts of the world, not only that, it is even losing its revenue. It is now important that the company starts to take the right measures, to save itself from a major downfall. Following the rules and regulations, and not foregoing them is the best option they can opt for, to make sure that their business holds a strong base.
