Hello advice needed....
I have got an apprentice that is supposed to be starting in July. However she has set up her own Facebook page and Instagram page advertising makeup and lashes outside of work. She has paid for her own lash course and is a self taught makeup artist. I am reluctant to taking her on now as she lives literally 5 min walk from the salon. I have spoken to her and basically said you are either doing your own thing or your doing an apprenticeship. I feel it's conflict of interest as we are targeting the same clients in the area and I don't really want to pay her a wage whilst she is advertising her own treatments (that I also offer in the salon) in the area?
Am I well within my rights just to turn around a say no to the apprenticship?
