Sounds like this will not end well - when the job ends he will discover the tax has never been paid to HMRC and he will be unable to claim benefits if he should have to and without payslips etc, should he have an accident, will struggle to show he was an employee - even worse you could end up with revenue thinking he is self employed, and want the tax direct from him.:eek:

Time to seek professional advice

Is your son the only employee or are there others in the same boat? If there are others I suggest your son has a little chat with them to find out if they have received P60s etc.

How interested were HMRC when they looked up your son's details? I think his employer may receive a 'nasty' surprise in the post sometime soon. As above, doesn't sound good.

he is the only employee now although the company take on temp staff when they have large contracts.
