Hello everyone, I am so confused with this I am hoping someone can help me, I will be as brief as I can be.
For the past 3-4 years I have worked as a Door Supervisor, at the same ( and only club ) I worked set nights, set times, hourley pay,
and worked nowehere else during this period, I was told what to do, Example, stand on the door, stand upstaires, stand in the smoking yard, go to town with the assistent manager and check if other clubs are busy, I had my own accountant, have been a sole trader ( Security Company ) and within the last 4 weeks have opened a Ltd company Security Company, although I have no other work and never have either as a sole trader or Ltd Company, I invoiced the owner with the ammount of hours worked and costs with an invoice as my sole trader or ltd company, one other thing is that I had another door supervisors pay on my cheque, when the cheque cleared I gave him his wages, now I have spoken to ACAS, who said the fact I have another doormans wages on my cheque means nothing, the CAB said I am an employee even though I have a sole trader/ltd company, one solicitor said I have all the signs of an employee but the fact other peoples pay goes on my cheque indicates I am a company, I am so confused with all this, I have been dissmissed unfairly, and wrongly by my employee ( or new management ) more to the point, I have been pooped on from a great height and dont want to start tribunal proceedings if I have no chance of winning, can anyone advise?
