Re: Violation of Code of Federal Regulaton
I don't understand you; perhaps you could clarify yourself.
a) You are "leased to" a company? Yourself?
b) The Code of Federal Regulations are cited usually
with a title number which you've omitted, e.g.,
26 CFR 1.2046 refers to the regulations that relate
to Title 26 of the U.S.Code (which happens to be the
Tax Code). So where is 376.12(i)? If you tell me
where it is, I may be able to where to report the
violation, if that's what's prescribed.
Reporting is not always the best way to go.
(Often simply reporting doesn't do anything;
some laws are not used that way. Some laws are
up to the government to decide to enforce (or not!)
and others give "a private right of action" which
means you can get a right to sue. Where the government
is a victim, there's often a whistleblower incentive
which can get some money for you.
All in all, honestly, I don't know what you're talking about.
What job do you have? What equipment do you rent? Why would
you even want to rent from a competitor of the company that
is employing you? Why do they care?
And where, really, is this CFR? Can you e-mail me a copy or a
website URL to it?
I'm at [email protected] and I'll look if you send me e-mail!
