like i said, apparently he runs it all through as 'casual' labour. i don't really know what that means, but it doesn't help me claim housing benefit.

in fact it puts me in the situation where I have to quit and jump on JSA. although it is my employer that put me in this position, there must be thousands like me, and it encourages people to cheat the system

It means that the till takings will read low.

Put it simply as this. In the pub/bar industry you have 'barrels that are over.(purchased for cash from a wholesaler)

When these are connected, all of the sales recorded for the sale of that barrel don't really exist because the barrel doesn't exist.

You will probably be paid out of this 'fund'

eg. he buys a keg of 88 pts cost say £85. He sells that at £2.50 per pint. Sales total say £220.00

He makes a profit of £135 which goes straight in his pocket. He gives you £25, which still leaves him £110 of tax free money.

That is only 1 keg a week. Most pubs/bars do that at the rate of 1 keg a day!

Then there is the spirits. Same brand say vodka bought in France is then decanted into the bottles on the optics. Then he sells that.
