Business & Finance - 26 December 2007

My boss has been paying me cash under the table,upon hire I was told shortly I would be added to payroll,41/2 months later,still no change.I was recently hurt at work that required me to go to the emergency room and I have no insurance.I can't even go to my boss with this bill because he refuses to even state that his cash employees even work for him.Meanwhile all the money he pockets from not paying taxes on his cash payed employees is pocketed for himself and lives quite well off of us.Remodeling house,trips,cars,etc. Because he has no "record"of me being paid cash I don't have a check stub to verify anything,can't get a loan,get workers comp,disability,nothing! I only took this job in the first place because I really needed the money and thought that I would be put on payroll already,what should/could I do now?

I have been an executive assistant at this company for a year. The company is not doing well and are about to go through a second round of lay-offs. They laid a lot of people off last year, and then I was hired interestingly enough. My boss said it was no reflection of my performance, and he is willing to give me a good reference. I'm only 21, and I'm going back to school next week actually, so I'll need to look for another job during this stressful time... Is this a big deal? Will this look bad to future employers (because I think this would be an important job to add to my resume), or do they view a lay-off just as they would view someone deciding to change jobs?

And also, am I supposed to apply for unemployment? How does all of this work?

All of which I have receipts and documentation for.

My income this year was $29K.

I also have some back taxes that I owe the IRS.

Just out of curiosity since my taxable income is almost nothing now -- what are the chances of an audit even before they mail me my tax refund check?

Is that even a possibility? In other words, I file my income tax return -- then the IRS asks for my receipts and proof of all my deductions?

Please Help!

I want to know the property tax guide lines. Did the proposal mandate that property taxes had to be increased every year or did it say that if they were increased, the increase could not exceed 5%????

My 5 year old son broke his arm, just above the elbow while jumping off a "log" playset at McDonalds. We filed a report at the restaurant, and left.
Insurance through my job is covering 80% of some, and 50% of other fees, and I owe a $1,000 deductible.
I am NOT one of those parents trying to make a buck out of this, but I am not sure if I should do anything about McD's especially since I would hate to think another kid might get injured there.

Oh the other side, (financial) my son needs surgery, and I don't know what, if anything I should do (I am not rich, so I'll have to charge it all on Ccard).
I looked up on the web and found nothing informational as to what steps I needed to take in a situation like this.
Like I said, I filed a report with them, at the restaurant and that was it.
But I wonder how anyone can make MacD's at least verify to what extent they can be responsible, or how their insurance can help the situation at least to a degree
ANY SUGGESTIONS???

I am thinking about building a new home and the weather here is cold/snowy winters. If I do so is there anything I should keep an eye on as far as weather (i.e. they should not pour concrete when its wet, too cold, etc. the wood will rot if it gets too wet and is not covered, ?)
