Employment Discrimination Lawyers and Labor Law Lawyers

what are the rules of self employment or sub contracted?

im a hair dresser . i pay own tax and ni. we dont get paid holidays and treated as self employed but have to work 9 to 5 even if we dont get clients in but then we dont get paid. we only get paid for the work we do. we are now told we are subcontracted to work those hours. what are the laws and where do we stand

This is a big con. If you HAVE to work the hours specified by the salon, you can't be self employed. Its a way of employer's not having to pay holiday pay and NIC, etc. I would contact your local tax office and ask to be put in touch with the status inspector and ask them to give a ruling on your status. It's shameful the way employers try to dodge their responsibilities.
The sub contract situation the previous answerer speaks of relates to the construction industry.
