Offered a job, it's perfect for me but employers want to pay cash in hand.

16 hours a week at minimum wage is £115.20 I think. So more than just over £100.

For me as a single parent it's 16 hours.
I discussed it with my job search advisor and because of childcare constraints I was advised that for the time being my best option was to work 16 hours and claim working tax credits to maximise my take home income.

Yes it is £115 a week.

I would assume you would need to prove to Tax Credits that you are working 16 hours a week. To do that I suspect they will want payslips.

Keep up the googling and explain to them that actually, doing payroll for one person is not THAT onerous. However, are they also aware of your legal entitlement to paid holiday, and a written statement of terms and conditions of employment etc?

You can't claim working tax credits without a PAYE and employee number. I don't think they'll expect to see payslips but they'll want to know who your employer is and the above information.
