Re: Contract

You are at great risk! The pre-school is in violation of state law with regard to licensing. Any harm to the children may also be attributable to you because of the school's failure to license and conform to state law, making you also civilly liable. In addition, both the school, its board and officers, are violating federal law by not withholding taxes. You need to file your own taxes and report this income, nothwithstanding the fact that your employer has failed to withhold. They probably haven't made social security payments, medicare, etc. This can affect your ability to claim benefits at a later time.
