"Employer's NI" means "employer's contribution to national insurance" - a UK tax.

Here's one article: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/oct/28/uber-uk-t...

There are many more.

They pay NIC on their employees, but not their driver partners. The driver partners like all contractors in the UK are responsible for paying their own NI. I don't see why the contracting company is responsible for enforcing tax law for its partners?

Self-employed people in the UK pay class 2 and class 4 NIC. Those that are class 2 pay £2.95/wk on earnings of £6,205+ per year. Those that are class 4 pay 9% on annual profits of from £8,424 to £46,350 per year. They pay 2% on profits over £46,350.
