Legal Question in Employment Law in California
Ghost Employee
The owner of the company I work for
has had a nanny for his kid for a long
time and pays her from the company
payroll.
Is this legal?
She does nothing for the company,
only for his kid and his house.
The company gets projects from
cities that is funded by public money.

So?? The owner may create IRS or contract problems, but you've got no reason or authority to complain unless you lose money because your paycheck isn't honored by the bank.

So?? The owner may theoretically create IRS or contract problems for himself, but as an employee you've got no grounds or authority to complain, unless you lose money because your paycheck isn't honored by the bank. Jealousy and envy are not grounds.
