Company tax fraud?

Question

I have worked for this co. for over 3 years. This year I didn't get a raise because they said it being a small business they aren't giving raises this yr. They let this man that use to work there come in and he is getting paid lots of money in cash under the table. I feel cheated. This man can go anytime and move on richer than I am and he isn't paying any taxes and neither is the co. I don't see how this is right to do.

I live in Michigan. I do the Accounts Receivable so yes I have proof. I am also the Administrator so I hamdle everything in the office.

Answer 1

Well if you value your job, you will be happy for the position that you put yourself into... You came into the company posted your terms they put out their expectations and you were hired. And you now get paid what was agreed to perform a job as was agreed. however if you are sick of it and really want to leave, then you can walk up to your boss and be straight up with him and say "you know I have worked here 3 years and I feel like I have done a good job, (list off some things you have accomplished or done for the company) and so i feel like I deserve a raise... If he shuts you down, then drop the line that you are quitting because you don't want to work for a company that is involved in illegal activities and let him know that you are going to report him to the IRS and walk out... I wouldn't do this until you have lined up another job. And then call the IRS and file a complaint. Otherwise be happy for what you negotiated and the job that you have, and learn to negotiate better next time...
if your sick of not being paid what you feel you are worth, check out my "honest Opportunity" blog on yahoo360 it might offer a solution. it has for me and a few hundred people I know...
Good luck

This is a good one. I think the terminology you are using is in accurate. President Bush refers to this now as a tax incentive program. Since the lobbies make the rules companies can now not only give to charity, they can create "failure" corporations where they can shift off profits to failed businesses while treating the employees like crap and paying the CEO and Chairmen well. Then, when it comes to paying a pension plan after 20 years of work, if a company has not tripled in net profits they will not be able to pay the pension plan so they fire people right before they are supposed to pay out, kind of like the way the insurance industry operates.

So, by destroying thousands of lives, families and divorces, childhood traumas, all saved the beach house of some CEO. Thank god the CEO doesn't have to live in a car with their family. Save the one for the misery of the few, makes me sick. Sharks.

I am a new breed. A Technical Philosopher (I hate the term politician), with intuition. If I had a mascot, it would be a Dolphin. That is the only way to deal with sharks.

A dolphin is intelligent and works with other dolphins to gather enough food for every one so they can spend thier days with the humans trying to race the boats or flippin’ through the air.

Think about he way a dolphin feeds. They play all day long, and then when the tide is right and the mixture of water disorientates the fish at the deltas the dolphins come into feed. So do the sharks. If a shark messes with a dolphin, hasta la vista.

Answer 3

It isn't right. Depending on how far you want to take this, you can do any of the following:

1) Nothing.
2) Send letter to IRS outlining issue and identifying both the company and "man" and let them handle it.
3) Same as #2, but include your information so they can pay a reward (not likely, but possible - but the fact that you wrote the letter may be disclosed later).

Don't worry, though, in the long run, people like this get it in the shorts. Sometimes we are around long enough to see the great Karmic Wheel of Justice tool our tormentors.

Answer 4

If you do not check a company before entering into a transaction, you could lose your money, time and credibility. Some widely used resources are the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) and the national fraud center (www.fraud.org) these days, you can easily find out more about a company using the internet in a few minutes. From a company's website, you can details about its ownership, how old the company really is and feedback from the company's customers.

I don't know what state you live in, but I believe that not paying FEDERAL employment taxes is wrong in every state. Also, the company must report his earnings or it is criminal tax evasion.
