before you start having a go at me for being selfish hear me out...

my DH gets up at 8am and doesn't get home till well after 10am. He has been in this job a few weeks and says he likes it. HOWEVER, he doesn't get paid, h only gets commission. He only got £80 for a whole weeks worth last week. I am due in two months and I am worried about finance.

He needs to see that this job isn't working, he needs a proper job with an hourly wage and some security!!!!

How do I make him see sense!!! I have told him my concern, what else can I do????

Not if the company make you self employed, then they can do whatever they want!!!! for every sale he makes £40 quid but he only did two last week!!

um, afaik a company can't just "make" you self employed. this sounds like a huge scam to me. he'll get no sickness benefits, holiday pay etc etc etc

it would also mean tax implications to your husband as he would need to be declaring his own tax etc etc

why did he take this job??

Typical ridiculous mn comments. Mind you you haven't given much info. Do you have assets, other income/reserves? Is it something he is likely to become better at?
Are you young?
Does he say he likes it or does he really like it?
SO many questions. SO little time.
