I am so so so so so so mad right now - DH is working for the most fucked up company in the world (excuse language, am so pissed off) and already trying to get out but he can't up and leave because we just cannot afford it. In a nutshell this month, DH (a chauffeur driver) has worked 6 sometimes 7 days a week about 18 hours a day 'self employed' (they told him last month anyway) but did what they said because we cannot afford to argue. So, how in the fucking world does that equal £815 pay?????? He has kept track and has earned over £2,000 in jobs, of which he wsa told he gets 75% not including about the 30-40% of jobs that have no price (they are on account direct with the companies, DH has asked for a price list to keep track but they won't give him one). Where can we go? They have no payroll, just The Boss which you have to go through his arsehole middle man to communicate which takes forever. DH also worked 6 weeks before he was paid, but was paid for 4 weeks and that 2 weeks has just gone - the way he is payed 14th of the month to the 14th of the month means he shouldn't have really been in arrears as he is 'caught up' now. Our mortgage alone is £750 this month, we cannot survive on £75, especially when they are running DH into the ground. To top it off I don't think (due to forms we were given by The Monkey the other day) he even has a licence to do this job so now I am scared we should have checked this all out ourselves before he started working there. When he got the job it was just a normal job, now they are pulling all sorts of strings. Once DHs vehicle wasn't even licenced but they made him use it still... say anything and he just would lose all his pay. Being so small there is no union, or any protection - I really don't know what to do. He can't quit when the owe him so much money and he needs a good reference for any other job, plus The Boss is very mafia ish by the sounds of it and I am scared repercussions if we kick up a fuss.
