Any question answered...

Hi All,

My son is 15 and has recently started working weekends / school holidays. Apparently he has signed a contract (according to his mum), and has been working for the past 2 months. He gets paid at the end of the week (Saturday or Sunday depending on which days he works) but his wages are cash given to him in an envelope with no payslip. I am wondering if this is legal - ie. as he is only 15 and does not have to pay tax / national insurance should he get a payslip?

Thanks all.

Not sure on the legality but he should be getting a receipt anyway. I used to get one for my newspaper round. If there ever was a dispute it was clearly itemised so the problem was easily solved.
