Hi I'm struggling a little with where I stand and What I can do. I am selfemployed and have worked in the salon now for 6 years. on starting we agreed on a 50/50 split with the salon providing everything.
Over the years the quality of colours and products that we have to use are not of the quality I or my customers are happy with. The salon is also very run down and not very appealing to new customers, I now feel I am over paying.
I now have to provide all my equipment, she dictates when i can and cannot take my holidays, I'm wanting to further my career in nails and I havnt been able to do the course as of yet as it falls on a day I have to be in salon. In my eyes i am self employed to benifit her so she doesnt have to pay out for my insurance, my tax, my trainning and for holiday/sick pay.
Ive tried to bring it up but she is not the kind of person that is easy to approach and is very good at making you feel stupid. This may sound silly but i am not very good with confrontation! Im getting desperate for advice, what can I do? Also there is no contract
