Question? I used to be self employed and hired a female to run the shop during the day serving people so that I could be out earning money doing washer repairs.
We closed on bank holidays so under the new rules would I have been liable to pay her for those 8 days a year we where closed?

Also I'm glad I closed the shop as Not only would I have had to fund all her holidays she had a baby the next year so I would have had to have funded her maternaty leave and found some one to replace her.

I dont think I would have been able to simply 'absorb' those costs.
