job paid under the table

I think the workman’s comp issue is HUGE.

If she’s not on the payroll, she’s not on the workman’s comp. And if she’s not on workman’s comp, if she gets hurt on the job, goes to the hospital, tells the ER people that she was hurt on the job, your health insurance may not pay because workman’s comp should pay. But there’s no workman’s comp.

Sorry … but running a business is a big deal. And paying people under the table to save on workman’s comp (which is expensive btw), taxes, and save having to comply with wage and hour laws is just not OK.

I’m running a business and I’m paying my employees on the books – and paying workman’s comp too. I am fully aware that not everyone is.
