Even with the credit check she won't have a chance (i will be the 4th member of staff including two managers to leave due to issues with being paid among other things)
She has run the shop into the ground to such an extent that the only way they can afford to employ people for more than 15 hours a week (they can't afford to pay PAYE costs, NI, tax etc, my position is 25 hours, any less and i wouldn't be able to do what would be needed)so in order to hire me i was "made" to become self employed, as such they save money at my expense. I do not get time off, i do not get sick pay, i do not get holliday pay. I do not get ANY of the entitlements that come with being self employed such as control over your job, when you work, where you do the work, whether you get someone else to do the work for you etc etc. She's gonna have a hell of a time finding an agency who will think that it's worth their time, nor will she find someone willing to work for a boss who is screwing them out of pocket.
It is pretty much a foregone conclusion that she is fucked. And if i do feel like it i have two very high end lawyers waiting in the wings and all of the documentation including that of former employees to land them with a minimum of a £50,000 fine from the tax man for tax evasion
I got done for drink driving, when the ban was up i didn't have to do anything at all, just sent them a letter and they sent me my full license. One would think you'd be asked to re-prove that you're a safe and responsible driver
They really shoulda, nearly crashed into the airport statue/spire thingy racing a random bloke first day back in the car lol.
