CASE STUDY 1
Issue
In this given case study Rhidian who is an individual working in a market place as a stall
seller for fruits and vegetable for the four days a week has applied for the mortgage with his wife
Leya at Extortion Bank Ltd. For which Rhidian was asked by the bank to provide 3 months of
payslips which are very important application for bank to sanction the mortgage. The issue arrive
to him when he asks the market stall owner about the payslips of his salary. At the very moment
the manager seemed to get very irritated and refused him of not having time for such a thing.
This was the issue in which the Rhidian was denied of the duty from the manager. Another issue
which was later recognized by Rhidian was that he never got a contract of employment from that
managers. Along with this he was never given any time off the working from stall and also was
very worried about the weather on not to ask about the payslips as it might lead to him losing the
job which he cannot afford. There are multiple issues identified in this case study starting with
the no contract employment which the manager of the market place is offering to its workers.
Along with this denial of payslips which is also an issue.

The Rhidian in these scenarios wants the justice for the payslips which is entitled to
receive from the employer and also a contract of employee that needs to be present. He also
wants to make sure that he does not lose the job while asking for his rights. The main purpose of
the Rhidian is to be able to gain the mortgage. Here, the fight is actually Rhidian accusing his
manager in order to provide him the employment rights which include not just, the contract,
payslips, and days off but also the assurance of not having to lose the job.
Rules
For this given case study it is very important to understand the main factors that are able
to affect the growth of the organization. According to the UK employment law as soon as
someone accepts a job offer they have contract with their employer1. This law also suggests that
the contract does not have to be written down. Employee is when a person has an agreement to
do some work for someone. It is not important for the employment to have the contract but
provide services. Hence, it can be said that it is not mandatory for the employer in this given case
study to provide the employees a contract for employment.
The major concern in this case study is with the Payslips. The payslips law has been
addressed in the payment of Wages Act of 1991. According to which all the employee have the
right to a payslip and outline what should be included in a payslip. As per this law the payslip
has been divided as the inclusion of the tax and also any types of deduction. The employees
which are able to give payslips are able to provide a clear overview of how much money an
employee is earning as well as deductions which are going to be in place of the different
organization.
As per the law in UK for the all the workers and employees are legally entitled to 5.6
weeks paid holiday in a year 2. This is known as the statutory leave entitlement of the annual
leave. It also includes the agency workers, workers with irregular hours and workers on zero
hours contract. For the given case study in which the Rhidian who has been working for 4 days a
