    Pay day / time.

    Thanks for the info everyone. I also suspect she is trying it on and i've already told her not to expect early payment in future. The payments from the bank are guaranteed within 2 hours and usually take minutes so that shouldn't be an issue. Monthly wages have crossed my mind. As I understand...

    End of a partnership

    Hi, I'd appreciate any advice with regards to ending a business partnership and the legal entitlement with regards to assets, business profit etc. The business is a couple of years old and started with both partners working equal hours and putting the same initial investment into the...

    Dad and family have took dislike

    I'm also sure a lot of people who claim to be dyslexic don't really suffer from it but that doesn't negate it's existence any more than a random "expert" trying to make a name for himself by posting on the internet or writing an article for a newspaper. I'm not dyslexic myself but I imagine...

    Of course it's real you doughnut. That's about as sensible as asking if Aids is real.

    Best way to collect a debt

    Thanks all for the helpful replies. I'll consider all the option but it sounds as the HCEO may be the best route to try at least initially.

    Best way to collect a debt

    Thanks for the advice, it seems like the high court writ may be the best way forward. The customer is not a commercial customer so do the high court baliffs have the same powers to enforce the writ as they do for commercial properties. M

    Best way to collect a debt

    Holiday pay

    If he was an employee of yours then I'm pretty sure he will be entitled to holiday pay, even if the hrs were variable. The casual or irregular working patterns of this page tells yiou how to calculate it. http://www.direct.gov.uk/en/Employment/Employees/Timeoffandholidays/DG_10034642 Matt

    Fully employed but planning side business

    Thanks for your advice. Doing this combined with the employee stuff (PAYE, Wages, Holiday Pay etc) is a fairly steep learning curve.

    Fully employed but planning side business

    Thanks Nicola, that makes perfect sense. Presenty I try to make a reasonable guesstimate on the tax and NI that each partner will need to pay (based on their tax code) and put this aside. However in the case where one of the partners has another job and may not be on a BR tax code I guess I...

    Fully employed but planning side business

    Hi Nicola, No worries. I don't want to hijack the post but while we're discussing could can probably help with a related question. In the situation the OP talks about where you are earning above your tax allowance in one job and then are self employed at the same time how do the HMRC...
