My husband worked for Business A for 1 day just helping out in the shop. At the time, he was working reduced hours at his regular job. The hours at his normal job picked up the following week, so he never ended up working for Business A again. He filled out the normal paperwork W-4s, etc and was paid a couple weeks later with a check that didn't have a stub. We didn't think to make a photocopy of it, and our bank doesn't have a copy of the deposited check.
My husband filed for unemployment again a few weeks ago. He then received a letter in the mail wanting proof of his employment with Business A since they are claiming he never worked there. My husband contacted the employer and he is not willing to give him anything (a copy of the check, statement). DWD is only willing to accept a check or something similiar (W2s) as proof he worked there.
It seems that we are at a standoff. What do we do? Is there any course of action that we have?

My husband is not claiming separation from this company. The owner is not claiming taxes, although my husband was under the impression that he was, since he filled out the paperwork for it. The employer told him originally he told DWD that he was a temporary causal employee, then when they sent him another letter, he claimed he never worked there. Oh, and don't worry, he won't be putting it on an application! This guy has shown his true stripes. My husband was being honest and divulging all the information he has and this employer is lying. I am close to calling the IRS, DWD and some local news channels to really screw him over, but I want to take the high road and just cover ourselves.

The reason he listed it is that you must report ALL income and he worked the job the week he claimed. The following week, he had more hours at his regular job and did not file a claim. Then his hours dipped below 30, and he filed another claim. It is fraud not to claim the income. The employer is commiting fraud.

The bank actually had a copy of the check (depsite not being able to find it previously), so we are good. I am hoping that this employer recants his previous statement that my husband didn't work for him in light of this discovery. Otherwise it goes to a hearing, I suppose. It's stupid anyway, since he got paid less in unemployment insurance because of it.

The bank his check was from will have the copy of the check. So if you remember what bank he uses for his business you have got him.
Well I'm glad you found a copy of the check. A suggestion, call the IRS anyways. It will still be taking the high road. Other businesses pay more so that this guy can be greedy. It's not taking the low road at all in fact other business owners would thank you for it.

I can't imagine that one day's employment would have any impact on his unemployment benefits. The insurance he paid through his main employer- employer B- should cover his claim. If he didn't get a stub, they didn't withhold any taxes from the check. Why would you list one day's work on an unemployment claim, when you have a regular full time job?

well, I have no idea....but for future reference, I would not put this 1-day job on any application because it seems the business has awful record-keeping skills

Well...If it didn't have a stub attached, then he didn't pay taxes. Therefore, Technically your husband didn't work there.
