<p>Hi, I worked for a start-up company that opened in LA. I worked for a total of 8 months, about 2 years ago, and was wondering what I would need in case I happened to be picked for the random auditing. I’m only specifically worried about this one because I didn’t save too much other than the card I clock in with and the business didn’t go as the owner planned so it eventually closed.</p>
<p>I haven’t had much luck trying to contact the owner (no cell phone contact, left an email a week ago), so it seems I don’t have much other than my work card with my name on it. I don’t want to risk my application so I’m hesitant to even put it up. However, I felt my work experience learning and watching the process of starting up a business from scratch could be a strong point in my application (especially since I’m looking to major in business).</p>
<p>Does anyone know if my card can cover the slightly chanced I get asked to prove this claim? Or, can anyone think of where else I could find records to prove my extended experience?</p>
<p>You should be fine. If that does happen to you (and I doubt it will), then you will have more time to figure out what to do and contact them to explain that the owner is MIA.</p>
<p>Paycheck stubs? If you paid taxes you could submit your W2. If, and this is a HUGE IF, someone wants to look into your claim, I’d say a time card is a weak supporting document. Cause you if lose your time card you can have mine. Or any other of the millions that are out there.</p>
<p>I think they can always just do an employment background check. Since you were actually employed, it would show up somewhere.</p>
<p>@HopingtoXfer Was it formal employment or just helping out your parents? I think the latter would be volunteering. If they ask for proof you would need to somehow be able to show it.</p>
