Not being paid, sole trader options?

    This applies to a member of my family.

    Joe is employed by a company, and the company is contracted by a larger company to carry out a specific job. So Joe is a sub-contractor I suppose. Anyway, Joe hasn't been paid in 4 weeks. But the larger company has paid the contracting company. So it's Joe's boss who's holding out.

    Firstly, what are Joe's rights and what should he do? Wher should he go? Union, Solicitor?

    Secondly, Joe tried to set up as a sole trader himself. But the larger company refused to hire him as he can work 50+ hours a week currently but not if he was hired directly by the larger company. Could Joe's wife setup a company and hire Joe? therefore he'll still be a sub-contractor but will now be in control of his own income, or at least his wife will.
