Dd been sacked for isolating

[ShittingHell]

My 16yr old has a part time job. Me and her dad had tests earlier this week. Unfortunately she was supposed to work so had to call in and say she couldn't.
Today she gets a text saying she's let them down! She's replied and said she can prove the tests were genuine and she had to isolate by law but they've not replied. This isn't bloody right is it?

However the important question I asked which the OP hasn't answered is what school year is the dd in?

I used to employ teens cash in hand.

They were fully insured and I kept records of all payments made to them. Why wouldn't I? I could offset their wages against my profits.

Cash in hand doesn't necessarily mean illegal.

That's not cash in hand then. You can pay employees in cash of course, but that's not the same as cash in hand

How would the OP know the takeaways accounting procedure? To all intents and purposes my teenage employees and their parents probably thought they were getting cash in hand. I didn't run a PAYE scheme as you don't have to if no employee earns more than £120 per week or has another job.
