A question about : Urgent advice please!
Hi, after a long period of unemployment and rising debts my son applied for a live in job at an Inn, he was offered a full time position after a couple of days which was great. After a couple of months he phoned complaining he and a female colleague were being exploited being made to work longer hours without being paid for them. He has not recieved a wage slip or a list of duties required of him yet only excuses why they can't pay him all his wage because buisness is bad, also he was unsure if his tax and national insurance payments are being made. I advised him to leave but due to no transport, accomadation and no benefits to rely on if he left of his own accord he has stayed on working hoping it would all turn out ok. A phone call this Friday after about 6 months he's desperate working 80 hours plus, tired and little time off, more and more duties to perform, a cold room to sleep in, no visitors allowed and confirmation now that he hasn't been registered for tax or national insurance deductions by his employer and only geting paid Ј160 a week. He feels like a prisoner unable to complain for fear of being made homeless and unemployed, nowhere to go with all his belongings and stacks of worked hours unpaid. I've told him to go to the local job center for help but don't expect much help from them, if the employer gets wind of anything he's out and homeless, can someone give any positive advice for him so he gets justice and doesn't end up carrying the can?
