Hello,
I have been working for this cosmetics company over 6 years and my role is a makeup artist. My company used to have more employees (12 employees) when I started. But they have been downsizing, now we have 6 employees now. Recently, my coworker (licensed Esthetician) has resigned a month ago. Unfortunately, my company do not plan to re-hire a replacement. I was hired as a makeup artist and provide makeup application. Ever since we downsizing, I have been taking an additional responsibilities (not even on my job description) without any extra compensation. This have been going on for over three years. Now our THE ONLY Esthetician has left, and my superior has approached me to take over her duties. I do not have any Esthetician license to perform any facial massages. But my superior said this is a very easy and simple job, it is ok to do this without a license. My superior also imply that other cosmetics companies do not even has my position anymore and encourage me to take this extra duties. Our company is serving a high end clients. Every month we have 1-2 days facial event at our spa room. I feel very uncomfortable to perform facials application with a dermatology knowledge. My question is, is this legal? I don't know whata to do. If anyone who familiar with this matter, I need your advise, Thank you for your time in advance.
