How was your friend taken on? Were they told that part of their wages would be cash in hand? If so, what are they complaining about? If they are not now happy about this he/she should take it up with his/her employer. If he/she is still not happy, then they should find another job. Being paid cash in hand will affect their national insurance contributions don't forget.
He/she must like the job to be still there after 5 years.
