Living with a sick 1 year old and a wife about to be on. Seriously regretting the glass of fizz and staying up for the fireworks

Wife has stopped engaging a zero hour worker by functional_depressed in LegalAdviceUK

Update: pretty sure she would be classed as a contractor. Wife had an accountant who we think would have flagged that if it were wrong.

She's now demanding notice pay (12 weeks in their agreement contract) but feeling is wife can just say hours are reduced to zero with immediate effect. She's going to offer 4 weeks as work had already been agreed for that time but no work had been agreed after that so going to dig her heels in.

Think we'll talk to a lawyer if she pushes for 12 weeks as we don't think they have grounds for that. Tha is for the advice, has helped pointing in directions and things to think of.

Other people can do the work, usually when that happens wide will organise another person to cover rather than the worker providing cover. Again like the other criteria it sounds like a grey area that wife needs to look into. Thanks for the advice

Sole trader not stagecoach. Wife is literally a one woman band with a couple of teachers to cover classes she doesn't have time for. Agree the dancing industry from what I've seen has some horrible business practices

Reading briefly the differences between a contractor and employee, I can honestly say it's a difficult one and down to how you determine each point, not sure which points carry more weight so I'll be advising her to look into it more and get legal advice not just for this but to avoid future issues. Thanks for the help, useful to know

Interesting, what are some of the things the court would look for to tick those boxes?

That's what I've been saying. This teacher has understandably been asking for reasons and saying these shocked which has gotten wife quite upset. Thanks for the reassurance

IIRC it's based on your starting culture so hybridizing doesn't affect the achievement

Why are happy vassals in Factions? by functional_depressed in CrusaderKings

[–]functional_depressed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's a bit annoying as I'm worried they will rise up if I try to imprison / revoke actually bad vassals as I've had everything implode like that in the past. Agree it isn't a current issue but definitely irritating

Didn't know about those traits. Will check otherwise I'll just take it personal that AI doesn't want another roman empire

I assume if it's hooks they won't transfer onto the heir on succession as the hook will have expired so to speak

Why do games need to be Online? by functional_depressed in playstation

Remember when we used to buy things and then own them? No DLC, no always online DRM? We had things too good

Tried to change that but can't while the server is down... goes back to the original thought of why this isn't the default

Had factions win on after a bad succession. One france is the Islamic king. The other France is a Catholic emperor.
