Could you answer the questions about how she was paid, tax + NI, holidays and maternity leave, please?

Cash end of each day split with him. Self assessment tax/NI. No holiday pay/maternity leave pay etc

She left April 2010 and returned about 9 months later. Says there was a chair waiting for her.

There's no contract in place, nothing that says "You can not work for any of our customers" etc? In fact they are not the customers of the salon. As she's self employed they are her customers.

I'd be suggesting setting up in business ASAP.

My thoughts also.

If there was a formal contract with a restrictive covenant etc. but there isn't.

What is she waiting for ?

I think we just want to let him know he was ungentlemanly, unloyal, disrespectful, zero management skills

I do understand the above, however this does not generate any cash - anyway, if he is those things then he won't care any way so don't give him the satisfaction of showing him how upset she is.

Unfortunately it looks as though there is no way back so she needs to move on and focus her energies in a positive way with regards what she plans to do next.

She has been offered another job which she can start in about 6 weeks and I have knocked up some nice flyers which will be with us Monday and she is going to flyer the local area for mobile work.

It leaves us without any money for a few weeks - no idea how we will get through that .

Sorry, I don't know how to so multi-quotes.

Why wait until Monday ? In fact, why do flyers ? - doesn't she have the names / numbers / facebook or whatever for her 40 customers ?

She has a customer base waiting already.

Did she have to ask for holiday or could she just not turn up if she didn't want to?

Even if there is a case for being worker/employee that would most probably require an ET and who is going to stump up the fees for the OP?

Thank you for your observation getmore4less. Based on the statements presented to date by OP and taking them on face value the partner may well get a full or at least a part fee waiver .. FYI via an EX160-A.

FOOTNOTE re other posts - accept the alternative position re moving on. But she can move on , but at same time seek justice if facts and evidence show reasonable to good prospects of success. Based on relevant experience salon owner may well compromise. I may be wrong ; I may be right !

To be honest I don't know why you are all faffing around debating on the legal stuff. Long term doesn't really help her. If you want to show the shop owner up, go and be ruddy successful and make a living out of what you are good at!

I know nothing about the legalities of employment law so my perspective is....get on Facebook/Gumtree/Newspaper/flyers and get on with being a mobile hairdresser! I know a few and they make a decent living, can choose your own hours and the only difference is she won't be paying the miserable shop owner 50% Win win surely??
