Legal Question in Employment Law in California
employee taxing
I've been working for my company for about 4 months. I've never been taxed out of my check. Now the boss is getting us on payroll and getting us to sign some w-2 forms for tax purposes. Now he's writing out checks and deducting money w/out telling me where the money is going. He says he ''has to tax us now'' But the odd thing is, the w-2 forms have not been submitted. I think he's just taking the extra money. But what can i do or say? Can he just take out money w/out giving me a breakdown of where the deductions go? Or do i still have a right to get all my money?

Re: employee taxing
The employer must give you a deduction statement showing the detail of all deductions.
Re: employee taxing
Report your employer to the California Labor Commission. There are serious fines that can be imposed for each violation, where the employer fails to provide you with a statement itemizing your wage deductions. Also check with the Employment Development Dept. All employers must report employee earnings to that Dept. If you employer is not, action can be taken against it.
