If I was a large business with deep pockets, I'd be wary of signing up to use independent contractors to ferry employees around and get embroiled in the employee misclassification debate.
Uber has said it is just a platform enabling the transaction between an independent driver and customer. That puts the entire burden of employee classification on the company. If HR sets the travel policy on the app, they would be authorizing it.

- bmm6o 9y agoWhatever debate there may be about how Uber drivers should be classified, there's no way it directly impacts Uber's customers. Please provide a citation, if you have one.
