Re: payroll non citizen of us
Thanks for your inquiry. You say you are paying your employee in "cash." I'm not sure what you mean by this. I could be wrong but to me this suggests that perhaps you may not be complying with labor laws. It would be best to consult with a tax/labor law expert.
As an employer, you are required by immigration laws to verify the work authorization status of all your employees by complying with all the requirement of USCIS Form I-9. For more information, please contact my office at www.jgoldlaw.com.
Thank you
