    The ET wont investigate the employer. they are just there to deal with the complaint which your g/f has. Make sure she puts in a claim for holiday pay as well.
    £705,000 raised by client groups in the past 18 mths :beer:

    Hi apologies now as this will be a long post,

    My GF Got given a job in the local beauty salon, there was only 1 member of staff at a time with a total of 3 to cover mon-sat. She has been there approx 6 months maybe a bit longer, now when she started she was told she was on "Trial" ok thats fair, but ongoing now she has still received NOTHING in writing, she did fill in a P46 when she started but recently found it stuffed behind the till. She is only paid £5/phour which is below NMW. He has as far as we know done this with the other 2 people aswell. Last week she rang another work collegue as she was ill and had asked them to cover her shift, they couldnt do it so she started getting ready to go in, she text the owner stating she would be in work but would be around 10 mins late, the text back was appauling from the owner it said - "You must think im stupid, dont F****ng bother coming in". so since that day she hasnt been in there, is there anything we/she can do now i understand its late and it got left too long, but she never got contracts/payslips anything, and tbh the owners reputation is known for "Dealing" with problems. is there anything she can do with regards to claiming back dated underpayment? the NI and Tax Issues? there is only people word of mouth that proves she works there but there is alot of people that know, also the CCTV unit was fitted for a period of her working there, so it may still be viewable unsure how long the tapes are kept for?
    Many thanks
