Unemployment
I got a question. My son worked for one company but received his paychecks from another company. When the project was completed he filed for unemployment. The unemployment company said that there is no record of that company paying taxes for him.
He called the company asking them if they were an employment leasing company for the painting company he worked for. The company said they were not afgiliated with the painting company in no way and have never heard of him or the company. He has pay stubs and copies of checks as proof that the company paid him and withheld taxes from him.
To me it sounds like there may be fraud. Should he report thus to the IRS or should he contact someone at the uneployment office?

This fraud and yes, repory this on each level. Start with Better Business Bureau. Then Irs. Then your State Rep or Atty General Office. Their whole business arrangement is shady. Sorry and good luck. Oh, yes, also know the Dept of Employment Security is a mess. They are paid to make sure most folks don't get what they work for. That money came rightfully earned wages and isn't Public Assistance. But they constantly deny folks, like it is a gift to the person in the bind.
I would definitely get a hold of the IRS .it could be some thing they need to investagate , because later in life it will catch up to him and THE IRS DONT PLAY THEY WILL TAKE EVERYTHING FROM HIM.I CANT EVEN COME TO WHAT MY LITTLE BROTHER WENT THROUGHT WITH SOMEONE USING HIS NAME.DONT WASTE TIME .GET IN TOUCH WITH THE IRS . LIKE ASAP. GOOD LUCK MY FRIEND .KEEP ME HEADS UP ON THIS SITUATION .SINCERLY CLEO FROM EAST LOS ANGELES.
Oh, this sounds very familiar to me. I worked for a company once, I will not mention the company's name or the year, but when it came time to file my income tax, I found out that my "X- boss" filed me as a contractor instead of- as an employee. Now get this! He did not file me under the companies name, but under another company that was the subordinate of the named company I was hired under. He own both named companies, but he filed me under the company that handled self employed associates for that subordinate named company, the big "To Do Companies" do this all the time it saves them thousands, to millions on their tax write-offs, and it keeps their books looking good to the IRS. Now what I did to counter my "X Boss" illegal Tax indiscretion, I wrote a letter to the IRS, explaining that I was a employee and not a private "contractor", I sent them well over a year of my stubs showing taxes (Federal and State) taxes being with-held from my pay as an "Employee" every pay period. That same year I received my income tax check, I do not know how the IRS handled the matter with my then Boss, All I know is... I Got My Check! Far as the unemployment comp that your son received From SSC, I would not tell them unless the IRS Advises him to do so. I do not know all the ins-and-outs of your sons situation, but He really need to deal with the IRS first in this matter. Hope I was able to give you some good information in regards to my own experience, "Good Luck"!

You should definitely report this to the IRS !! Also the chamber of commerce in whatever county or city you reside in or this company address. Also the Better Business Bureau
Hi ! Tell him to go to Department of Labor with all his documents so they can go after them before they change the name of the company. It is scam. Good luck !
Did you show the pay stubs to the unemployment office? That's the 1st thing I would have done when the problem came up.
He should file a minimum wage complaint with the employment services division of his state. He also needs to report it to the I.R.S. as well as the social security dept. I was employed earlier this year by a company who wrote me paychecks out of 3 different checking accounts!! This is done by employers who are attempting to defraud the IRS and the labor board. I never received a paystub once! And was given a laundry list of excuses when I was being shorted on my paychecks. The reason they were getting away with not paying overtime was because they were hiding significant portions of their income in the multiple accounts that were "unaffiliated" with that business!! Always keep a handwritten log of your hours and wages earned!! The IRS takes those into account when they are investigating payroll fraud!! Good luck
Contact the Dept. of Labor and get a lawyer!
