Hi all,
So I've been working in a salon for 10 years now just over. I love the people I work for and can't imagine leaving. I'm their long standing member of staff disregarding them obviously and I know the clients etc so well. This is where it gets funny for me.
I started on a self employed basis. Could choose when I started and when I wanted holidsy. Used their products and they take 50%.
Last year we were told we were not allowed to ring our customers etc if we wanted them to come earlier because it was unprofessional. Even if that meant us having an hour or so with notying to do. They tell us what to wear and we have set days off (we can have other days off aside of that also.
I have brought up the fact we are self employed the lady said to me that we/i am but under their name so have to abide by the salon.
I've been offered another opportunity at a hair salon not too far away and that would be me in a corner doing nails only for maybe 100 maybe less a week as rent and I would manage my own books and so on. Ideally I would prefer this because I'm not too sure now where I stand with the whole self employed status. I'm a crazy worrier and I've not slept from the worry that I may have to have a chat with them about all this. What do you guys think? Sorry for rambling!
