    Paying in cash being fine is a new one on me, but 'cash in hand' suggests 'off the books'. Maybe I'm being pedantic about terminology but it sounds sketchy.


    A lot of small retailers will pay wages in cash to get rid of cash on site for security purposes .

    Also small 'specialist' retailers do this. I know one such retailer like this.

    They asked me to bring my own laptop as there's only the one small office that they need so I've go upstairs, just an empty room above the shop.


    I've to update the website and put their products online. Main issue is manager walking straight over to look at what i'm doing and then suggest I'm dosing. I was taking a break but he said himself and the other manager don't get breaks so I shouldn't have had anything but work open on it.
    But it's my personal laptop so naturally it'll have netflix and spotify on it.


    I'm now getting a payslip but all the deductions are blank so my tax, prsi, and usc aren't being deducted.

    That's not your main issue. Your issue is that they are paying no tax, prsi etc on your behalf. There is no record in the system of you as an employee. If you go to claim at the social welfare, there won't be any records for this job. You are entitled to a break, whether the manager chooses not to take a break is his problem. You should not have to use your laptop for work, they should supply the necessary tools for you to do the job.

    There are loads of retails jobs OP, go and get one of them.
