My niece is a server

and has asked her boss repeatedly to put her on the books so she can claim a tax return. She has a daughter and needs the money. Her boss has refused to put her on the books. Who does she contact to file a complaint?

1. There should be information on the Department of Labor website of your state.

Look for "wage theft" reporting. Is he paying her in cash?

4. I believe she is getting paid in cash

6. Just sent the link to her, thank you

7. I will say, it's likely nothing will come of it. Those departments are routinely understaffed and

overworked, and so they tend to focus on large employers ripping off a lot of people. But it's worth a try.

2. She should report him to the DoL

She's certainly not the only one, and he should pay up the back taxes. And go to jail.

3. There are job openings for servers just about everywhere

right now. As restaurants re-open for inside service, they are having trouble getting employees to re-enter the job.

Tell your niece to start looking for a job in a nicer place with better pay and better tips. She shouldn't have any problem finding a better position.

5. She just quit

but he has messed up her filing for taxes. She had believed he put her on the books awhile ago when she pressed him to do so

8. I think she can still submit a tax form.

9. Nearly every restaurant in the nation is hiring.

Quit. Find a better gig.
