    I've never heard of an employer being able to do that. Even a backround check, which you have to give permssion for doesn't go into that. They would have to get that info from the government somehow and that wouldn't happen.

    I actually danced at a club that payed a small amount hourly and we would count out our tips at the end of the night and report them. I have never had any trouble with this showing up on my background check. You may have to worry about it showing up on your credit report though and I have heard that some employers are checking that as well, but I personally have never experienced an employer checking my credit.

    I think you will be safe.

    Years ago I worked at a club where they paid us. This was many years ago (1994) but it's never showed up on background checks. Never hurt me in my non stripping jobs. Incidentally, later on I did work for a government agency, so it never was an issue.

    I dont think you will have a problem with it.. I think that if you are asked about it, tell them you were a bartender, club promoter or whatever makes you feel comfortable... If you are planning on going to college, most places dont see anything wrong with girls striping to go to school.. I would think that you would have the attitude whatever it takes! is a good thing, but I know not everyone has the same views as us..
    I once said to my dad before I started dancing, we parked at a local club during the day for him to meet someone to give them their pay check, and we joked and said my dad was dropping me off at work (at the SC) I said " poor girls must be on drugs to do that" and my dad said "ya must be", that was about 2 years before I started dancing
    Although I know from this site most girls on here dont do drugs, about 98% of them at the local clubs that Ive worked at in this area do drugs, and it shows!
    But good luck I dont think you will have any problems!
    do you mind me asking how much you will make hourly? and do you have a set sched,? with what hours?

    bottom line is that you'll be stuck between a rock and a hard place if you neglect to list your 'experience' as an employee 'stripper' on future straight job applications. Because you will be forced to file tax returns including W2 income, and because your 'employer's' unique federal number is a matter of public record, any straight job employer who chooses to run a background check is going to turn up the fact that you worked for Club X. So if you do list this previous employment at Club X, you take your chances that the future straight job employer will simply dump your application. But if you don't list Club X you may be subject to being fired from your straight job based on 'lying' on your job application.

    I would also point out that there are a host of other reasons that a dancer may NOT want to place herself between a rock and a hard place by working as an employee. The largest of which is probably Club X's refusal to allow you to report all of your earnings through the club's payroll system ( because if they did, the club would have to pay very high unemployment insurance and disability insurance payments based on your higher reported salary) even though are required by the IRS to do so.

    Melonie is right!

    I have been issued tax forms before tax season and that income had to be reported with the employer identification number. Now, I do know that I've had tons of background checks run on me because I've worked in a lot of super conservative offices, for non-profits, and for some extreme religious organizations... no one has ever said anything to me.

    You have to make a choice though... if this is something you'd be embarrassed about then you may not want to take the dance job. Personally, I've been very successful in this industry and I'm proud of what I've accomplished through dancing. If anyone ever confronted me on it and had a problem with it I'd tell them that dancing provided me the opportunity to go to college, to purchase my first home and first car. If they still had a problem with it, I'd walk out the door... I don't want to deal with people who are so snobby about other people's lives that they can't see the good that came from it.

    Well said!

    Dancing is not illegal or anything, don't be ashamed of it.

    If strippers can't respect themselves how are mere mortals supposed to respect them?

    ^^^ well that indeed could occur if you choose to list your previous employment as a 'stripper' on your resume and that employer chooses to avoid hiring a former 'stripper' ... and it may occur before a prospective employer even bothers to run a background check.

    On the other hand, if you choose NOT to list your previous employment as a 'stripper' on your resume, and the prospective employer turns up your previous strip club employment during a background check, your application may get 'canned' on the basis of 'lying' / withholding information.

    I'm on the payroll at my club, and if a potential employer ran a check on me, it would show up that I was a waitress at "Route 9 Properties" or something like that. They'd have to then research the assets of Route 9 Properties to find my strip club is the only listed asset. Honestly, I'm not too worried about it.

    Most clubs have a special name that they do their business transactions under like "____ food and beverage". They need to do that for the guys who use their credit cards. Some guys are married to very uptight women who can't handle knowing that most guys go to strip clubs every now and then.

    You do have to be careful about saying that you worked as a stripper because that can put you in a bad position where you will be sexually harrassed. Not just by men but also jealous women. When I worked at a casino I had some jealous old hag ask me if I had ever done porn in front of customers and other employees. I was so shocked. When I told her no; she said that she was only asking because she heard that a lot of strippers do porn too. BS. She was only asking to make me feel uncomfortable because she was jealous that I made more money than she did.

    I have also worked at a strip club that put that I was an entertainer at their club on my credit report. I found out because of my friend who used to work at the same club got called into the bosses office because it was on her credit report. She was working at a bank and she applied for a line of credit and some jealous bitch saw it on her credit report. She started gossiping with the other people at the bank insinuating that she still danced in Vegas on the weekends. Her boss did not give her a hard time and said that what she did in her free time was no one elses business.

    You can pull your credit report and see what it says. No one should have to be sexually harrassed for the rest of their life because they worked at a strip club for a while.

    Everyone is entitled to a free credit report from all three agencies once a year. The official government site is www.annualcreditreport.com
    their number is 877-322-8228
