working for cash in hand at car wash

I'd be more concerned that he is covered against any personal injury at work, and liability if a customer's car is damaged.

He'll be covered for both - it is quite obvious that he isn't self employed.

its obv cash in hand, the same you get on many building sites. The kid is making a little cash and he wont be earning above threshold anyway.

I think you are worrying too much OP.

Its a bit of seasonal cash in hand work. If your son goes in 'insisting' on stuff, there are plenty of other people who would jump at the chance of taking the cash in hand work

It isn't going to be a life career by the sounds of it

Leave him to get on with it

MSF decreasing the rights of the working population and encouraging illegal pay, zero hour contracts etc.

OP it seems your son is getting paid more then the min wage for his job. He just needs to do a tax return in his own name and he will pay probably no tax as he hasn!!!8217;t earns enough.

There was another insurance thread but about a similar age.

If he's receiving payslips, he doesn't need to do a tax return unless HMRC send him one.

If he's not, he needs to record himself how much he's receiving, but he still doesn't need to do a tax return UNLESS his income from all taxable sources is over £10,000 in a tax year (yes I know the normal tax allowance is higher than that, but until his income starts to approach that figure he really does NOT need to worry!)

Don't know what to say the written contract could still contain inaccuracies and mis-truths.

A mate 'over the hill' thinking they finally done well, re read the contract today and for the amount of hours on that alone they are paid £7.53 instead of £7.83, that's with an additional 6 hours somehow missing from the contract per weekend working and the greatest laugh of all 5 years employment verification should have been completed before getting through the door - (some what of a dis service to Employers who do manage to pay minimum wage). :cool: oh does my mate wish she had never clapped eyes on the blessed contract.

On another note, I remember having a washing up job in the back of a pub (same age) when I would get a tenner for a day's service of a Sunday back in the 90's - that went ok actually, no bother. Lasted a number of year's popping in on the Sunday lunches as supplementary pocket money without nowt written down.

Thanks everyone, I guess I won't worry about it then. One of my concerns was indeed any insurance, injury, personal liability.

I'd imagine that any supermarket will have had their legal team all over it and insisted on sight of relevant insurances because they're taking a risk with the supermarket's customers who come into contact with them and their equipment.

It's not as if it's in a layby on the local by-pass.

Landowners and big supermarkets have big legal teams to check and insist on things for contracts to be signed.... and I'm sure the Manager wasn't just asked randomly "all right if we do this over here in this corner mate?" and he just said "Yeah all right..."
