I used to work at a privately owned arcade, but I quit because it was fishy.
We were paid "under the table" which means no taxes were taken out and we were paid in cash. Only one or two people were actually on a pay roll. Our pay could be docked if we played games during shifts; we weren't given an actual break. This means if you worked a Saturday night you had no rest.
Also, I know for a fact that I am the only girl that worked there because, in the words of someone that worked there for over 8 years, "they don't hire girls".
I feel like I could get in trouble for not giving the taxes I was supposed to, but further more, the business is just scandalous.
I went in to pick up the money from the two shifts I worked but they denied me pay for a whole day. What should I do?
Is there a way to bring the business to justice?
**By the way, this is my weekend job. I'm not just trying to ruin the company; I just want my money.

I would let as they say,' by gones be by gones,' 'let sleeping dogs lie,' and move on. You can always file a 1040X Form with the IRS and revise the filing for the tax year you took pay under the table and be okay with the IRS.
Good luck.

File with the federal and state Departments of Labor ... these businesses won't have the information to prove compliance, and will be toast.
Of course, as a weekend teenager job...you probably would get all your income taxes back anyway.
They hosed you out of money, so they deserve what they get. They'll end up paying out just to settle.

Legally if I were you I would let it go. Yes they would get in trouble and fined but so would you for not claiming the money on your taxes each year. I would let a sleeping dog lie and take the loss but learn from it. When you try to beat the system the system usually fights back.

in case you signed the hire with this 'small old unit', you knew finished nicely what grew to become into there on the time of signing. Your hire would not assure that the unit will save the save ice chilly. in basic terms that the unit works, which it curiously does. A 6000 BTU unit is in basic terms too small to effectively cool this type of area for organisation. Time for you and the owner to communicate approximately upgrading the unit to something which fits your desires. whether, be envisioned to pay for some, if not all, of the unit which you request.

I would report them to the IRS for not taking out your taxes like they are required. Of course, that will mean that you will have to pay your taxes yourself. Odds are, you will report them and nothing will happen but it is worth a shot. I don't see how that will get you your money but maybe it will keep some other person from having to go thru what you went thru.

very illegal......either you figure out a way to get paid without reporting them, or report them, and you may never get paid because they'll be shut down.
