Hi All,
My predicament is this,
I was employed by a member of my family in an office position which then became a labour position as time and need went on just over a 1yr.
The plan had originally been agreed for my brother who owns his company and has been successful to help me to start a company of my own as a Graphic Designer, whilst I helped with the office work for his company, this was made impossible by the number of hours that I was working for his company.
I left the employment today, as a heated discussion arose and I decided it was getting too close to becoming physical as it has done about 4 or 5 times in the past, granted as in most scenarios like this it was a mixture of both of us but my brothers very fiery temper would usually take things from verbal to physical.
On this occasion it was getting to close and as my brother had told me that we had been close to fighting the day before I decided to remove myself from the situation and said 'Im not going to do this! Im going' to this my Brother/Boss said if you go you don't come back, I stayed and tried to sort the problem but the tension didn't stop and the risk of it turning physical became higher so I decided to go.
I understood at the time that this meant that I would not be back. But I was
He has since Phoned me and told me that the Computer bought by the company, would be coming back, even though there was a verbal arrangement between ourselves that once I had completed some new brand designs and webpages then the computer would be mine and that Instead of paying by an hourly rate this would be covered by my not charging him for the time spent.
I spent numerous hours working on the brand logo and website and he has used them and still does. The hours must be in excess of 60 to 100 hours maybe even double including other project that I have done with no charge since.
The desktop computer was purchased at £2000 a little under one year ago and has been in my possession since it was purchased.
Any information as to where I stand in both of these situations would be appreciated.
What are my legal obligations and what are his?
Many Thanks
MH
