I have been working in a salon since August. I’m told I am self employed. The owner takes 55% of all my profits and she provides everything. I am told to work on a Friday 10-7 and be in the salon regardless if I have appointments and stay all day. I’ve been given the choice to leave in the past but last week she pulled me and said she wants me there all day. I am paid at the end of each month. My clients pay through her card machine and cash goes in her till, she takes all the money and pays me on a certain date. My appointments are through her system and other people in the salon can book in appointments with me when I’m not there. I’m expected to help out around the salon whilst I’m there like cleaning, washing up, answering the phone etc. I’ve spoken to HMRC today and they have classed me as employed. Could I have some advice? I’ve asked for a contract and it doesn’t exist. I’ve asked for our agreement in writing and apparently it’s all verbal because I’m self employed. Has anyone had a similar experience? What next steps should I take? Thanks
