    Distance Selling Regulations - Where is the "sale"?

    OK OP - I must have misunderstood your original post where you asked people if the DSR's applied to your case? I thought you were asking because you didnt know and youve been told, by several people that they apply and ways to avoid them if it is such a big problem. It seems that you already...

    Distance Selling Regulations - Where is the "sale"?

    Until you happen upon someone who knows their rights and will not be convinced by a bunch of stuff? Then they can report you to consumer direct and instigate a court judgement to reclaim their money and if found liable you will have to pay costs. Why would you even risk it? You can argue until...

    Forced to use own car?

    Well no-one should naturally expect that - it is presumptious and not really an employers business how their employees get to work or if they have a license or not, if it is not relevant to do their job. There is also a great deal of difference between driving a few miles through town to get to...

    Forced to use own car?

    In general mobility clauses refer to a permenant move of place of work and should give guidance on limits in distance. Alongside that it would also likely to include a sentance that states the employee may be required to cover at other branches from time to time. It is unlikely that it would...

    Forced to use own car?

    OP - to answer your original post! A company can request that your daughter works at another branch - providing it is in her contract, usually known as a mobility clause. However, they cannot dictate how she gets to work or insist that she takes other staff there in her car. Im guessing...

They have a wealth of information about funding as well as information about any licenses needed to provide outdoor activities as well as liability insurances.

    Retail discount rate from manufacturer?

    You agreed 40% discount from 9.79 so that is what should show on your invoice. Show it as the actual cost per unit that they pay and then the total for 100 units. Shipping was free at the time you agreed the purchase anyway so I would add it as a line with a 0.00 cost. For future sales only...

    Phoning around, cold calling I think

    Most people can spot a script a mile off - yes having a well thought out introduction is good to try and get around the automatic "we are not interested" but its always better to try and get a conversation going and generally asking a few questions about a company or even better finding their...

    Dont use network three for mobile service

    My Iphone4 kept saying no network coverage and that was with a different service provider. I sent it back - they confirmed phone was faulty. New phone - same provider - no problems. Like others have said I think you should be talking to 3 about replacement phone.

    Hi New here too so hello, The only way the company can legally not give paid holiday is if they are classing these workers as self-employed. However - even if the company has classed them as self-employed it does not necessarily mean that they are and it may be that they need to challenge...
