Thanks for the replies everyone! 

Today she has told them she can not clean that many clothes as she neither has the time or a dryer! No reply as yet... 

In regards to what sort of company this is they were paying staff on only a PAYE contract "direct" which turns out is code for self employed which caused a headache for people claiming universal credit etc as that part of their wages wasnt on their wage slips and was paid into their accounts seperate ( im assuming this saved them some tax costs? ) and when asked for a payslip for this money they were denied saying it was overtime pay and seperate from their only contract that was PAYE 

Will update if we need more advice thankyou! 

All sounds very dodgy. Good on her for standing up to them.

Look for another job. 

Certainly not something I would be agreeing to as an employee. 

100% agreed. I'd say this kind of jobs are also quite easy to find

Dodgy employer.  
Paying employees separately and not including on payslips (or P60s) means they aren't paying employers NI on that or pension contributions.  Overtime is still part of PAYE contract.
