Hope some of you can share your thoughts on this.
My eldest was an apprentice hairdresser and at the end of one working day, was told that the employer could no longer afford them and that their employment was terminated from that point. This was one day before their 2 month contract was legally/technically/officially due.
They did actually volunteer to work the next day, to help out as the salon was rammed, so had a full 2 calendar months of paid employment. No notice period was given by the employer.
We understand from ACAS that even though there wasn't a contract or any form of terms and conditions, verbal or written they're entitled to a week's paid notice and any holiday entitlement (which amounts to a full week's wages)
The question is, would you bother to ask the employer for those two weeks pay or would you chalk it up to experience and avoid any hassle?
