Small salon set up

[Helen Chisholm]

Hi guys! Really need so advise.
I've only worked in a spa before so I'm looking at other work, I've been offered a job at a small salon in my town working for them but since I've been told I need to pay for all my training and now I've been told I will need to insure myself, is this normal?

Many thanks!!

Nope. If you're employed your employer adds you and your treatments onto the salons insurance.

If you choose to do training it's at your cost, some employers will pay for training but there is usually a clause, something like, if you leave within 6 months you pay back an element of that cost, some do some don't.

Many salons do this. They make it like you're employed but they're avoiding any tax etc by making you self employed x

honestly? if i'm not happy with the deal I dont accept the job. if I feel like it's unfair on me, you're the one bringing in the talent! However, if theres a training course I want to go on then I will pay for it myself, but if theres one they want me to go on they should be paying, its about being fair on both sides!

Hi Helen

In regards to insurance, if you are employed by the salon then they should be covering you under their own full salon package - if you were to have a treatment claim and the insurers found that you should have been covered under an employers policy a claim may not be paid. If however, you are self-employed then it is normal for them to ask you to purchase your own insurance.

Hi Helen

We have come across this a lot but the bottom line is if you are employed by a salon they pay all your taxes and insurance.
