Legal Question in Employment Law in California
My mother worked for the Salvation Army as an ordained officer for 42 years. During that time, she worked an average of 50 hours/week (all weekends included) but the SA paid only my father and made no payroll contributions on behalf of my mother. She had her own titles, defined job descriptions, and her work was not optional. She was not allowed to seek work outside of the Salvation Army. She passed away last week and I've just discovered that the SA has ducked out of making any social security contributions for her. This is the case for thousands of married women working for the SA as officers. Can this be legal?

Probably not, and I would like to speak to you. In my capacity as an attorney I recently sued the Salvation Army here in California in a class-action for wage and hour violations. That matter settled earlier this year. What you describe, however, was not a claim in that lawsuit. On behalf of myself and my co-counsel in that case, please call my office to further discuss.
