@Denver, CO....Your employers are royally screwing you. They do not pay any taxes, yet you do as an IC (Independent Contractor)....WTF??!! I would report them, but if you really and truly love your job, then sit down and have a talk w/them. Tell them for a Nanny to file taxes as an IC, it is illegal and you need to file as their employee ONLY. Which means they have to pay taxes as well. It's a two~way street.
ReplyDelete@Rochelle, NY: I am appalled that your boss is taking money out of your paycheck for breaking something of hers while on the job.
It is HER responsibility as YOUR employer to have insurance on anything you use on the job. I would most definitely leave her in the dust once your final check clears.
