I9 Form

I wrote about the independent-contractor-vs-employee issue last year, see http://nctaxpro.wordpress.com/20...Broadly speaking, you are an employee when someone else - AKA the employer - has control over when and where you work and the processes by which you perform the work that you do for that individual. A DJ or bartender under some circumstances, I suppose, might qualify as an independent contractor at a restaurant, but the waitstaff, bus help, hosts, kitchen aides, etc. almost certainly would not.There's always risk in confronting an employer when faced with a situation like yours - my experience is that most employers know full well that they are violating the law when they treat employees as independent contractors, and for that reason they don't tolerate questions about that policy very well - so you definitely should tread cautiously if you want to keep this position. Nonetheless, I think you owe it to yourself to ask whether or not the restaurant intends to withhold federal taxes from your checks - if for no other reason than you don't want to get caught short when it comes to filing your own return, even if you don't intend to challenge the policy.

I’m not a lawyer, but I’d say you don’t have to pay. The law, as I know it, requires former employers to confirm your dates of employment and title. If your former employer demands you pay a fee for this, ask for the demand in writing (say you need it for financial records), then send a copy of that demand to the company you applied to, and your state’s Office of the Attorney General or Labor Department. The demand on email would also work, as would a voicemail you can attach to an email.

Many US employers today won’t allow individuals (coworkers, supervisors) at a company respond to any questions or write recommendations. Everything must go through HR and they will often only confirm dates of employment.I know this, so I’m not going to waste time contacting phone numbers/email lists of supposed former coworkers or managers. Fact is, if anyone answered and started responding to my questions, I’d be very suspicious. Instead, I just ask for the main number of the company — which I can look up on line and verify to be the actual number of the claimed company.Same deal with academic credentials. I’m not going to use your address for “Harvard” … the one with a PO Box in Laurel, KS. I’m going to look up the address for the registrar myself.Sorry to say, there’s far too much lying on resumes today, combined with the liability possible for a company to say anything about you. A common tactic is to lie about academic back ground while giving friends as your “former supervisor at XYZ.”
